Modern Slavery Statement for Turnpikelane Storage

Turnpikelane Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible storage provider, we recognise that safeguarding people is central to ethical business practice and long-term resilience.

Our zero-tolerance policy applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and business partners. We do not tolerate any form of modern slavery, whether direct or indirect, and we expect the same standard from every supplier and service provider we engage. Any breach of this policy may lead to immediate review and, where necessary, termination of the relationship.

We are committed to embedding this position across our organisation through training, due diligence, and continuous oversight. This Turnpikelane Storage modern slavery statement is intended to demonstrate our expectations, the controls we maintain, and the practical measures we take to identify and address risk.

Our supplier management process is designed to reduce the risk of exploitation in our supply chain. Before working with a new supplier, we assess the nature of the goods or services provided, the country of origin, labour conditions, and any known human rights concerns. Higher-risk arrangements are subject to enhanced review.

We conduct supplier audits on a risk-based basis to verify that labor standards are being upheld. These audits may include document checks, site visits, worker interviews, and reviews of subcontracting practices. Where issues are identified, we require corrective action plans and monitor progress closely.

We also expect our suppliers to maintain their own anti-slavery controls and to flow these requirements through their relevant subcontractors. This approach strengthens accountability and supports a broader culture of responsible procurement across the Turnpikelane Storage supply network.

Reporting concerns is an essential part of our anti-slavery framework. We provide clear internal reporting channels so that employees and workers can raise concerns about suspected exploitation, unsafe recruitment practices, or unethical conduct without fear of retaliation. Reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated promptly.

We encourage all personnel to act if they notice indicators such as restricted movement, withheld identity documents, unusual payment arrangements, or signs of coercion. Any allegation is reviewed with care, and appropriate remedial steps are taken, which may include escalation to management, supplier engagement, or referral to the relevant authorities.

To support effective reporting, we reinforce the message that speaking up is a duty as well as a right. A robust modern slavery prevention culture depends on awareness, trust, and the assurance that concerns will be addressed consistently.

Training and awareness play an important role in helping our teams understand modern slavery risks. Relevant staff receive guidance on identifying warning signs, applying due diligence, and managing supplier relationships responsibly. We also review policies and procedures to ensure that ethical sourcing remains part of everyday decision-making.

Our governance structure supports oversight at an appropriate level of seniority. Management reviews key risk areas, discusses any incidents or concerns, and monitors the effectiveness of controls. This enables Turnpikelane Storage to respond to emerging risks and maintain a practical, proportionate approach to compliance.

We believe that ongoing vigilance is necessary because labour exploitation can evolve over time and across different sectors. For that reason, our approach to Turnpikelane Storage modern slavery compliance is designed to be flexible, evidence-based, and responsive to changes in operations and supplier profiles.

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, effective, and aligned with our business activities and legal obligations. The annual review will consider audit results, reported concerns, training uptake, supplier performance, and any changes in risk exposure. Where improvements are identified, we will update our controls accordingly.

Turnpikelane Storage remains firmly committed to preventing modern slavery in all forms. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, offering reliable reporting channels, and reviewing our position each year, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards throughout our organisation and supply chain.
