Towerhill Storage Modern Slavery Statement

Towerhill Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can appear in many forms, including debt bondage, servitude, deceptive recruitment, and the abuse of vulnerable workers. Our zero-tolerance approach applies to every part of the business and to all individuals and organisations acting on our behalf.

Our Commitment

As a responsible storage provider, Towerhill Storage seeks to uphold human rights and promote fair treatment at every level. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to act ethically and to comply with applicable laws. Any indication of modern slavery is treated as a serious concern and investigated promptly. We will not knowingly engage with suppliers or partners who fail to meet our standards, and we reserve the right to end relationships where required.

Policies and Governance

Our anti-slavery controls are supported by internal policies covering recruitment, procurement, whistleblowing, and supplier management. These policies are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective and aligned with current legal expectations. Senior management maintains oversight of our approach, while relevant teams are trained to identify warning signs such as unusual recruitment fees, restricted movement, confiscated identity documents, or unsafe working conditions. Prevention is a shared responsibility across the organisation.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We apply proportionate due diligence when selecting and reviewing suppliers. This includes risk-based screening, contractual obligations, and confirmation that suppliers share our commitment to ethical labour practices. Where a higher risk is identified, Towerhill Storage may require additional evidence, corrective action plans, or independent verification. Supplier audits are an important part of this process. These audits may include document checks, management interviews, worker-focused assessments, and site inspections to help us evaluate compliance with our standards.

If an audit or review identifies concerns, we expect suppliers to act quickly to address them. Where remediation is possible, we will support proportionate corrective measures and monitor progress. However, if a supplier is unwilling or unable to resolve serious issues, we will consider suspension or termination of the relationship. This approach reinforces our commitment to ethical sourcing and helps reduce the risk of exploitation within the wider supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Raising Concerns

Towerhill Storage encourages employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise any concern without fear of retaliation. Reports may relate to unsafe labour practices, suspicious recruitment activity, coercion, or any other issue connected to modern slavery. Concerns are handled confidentially and assessed carefully by the appropriate internal team. We support an environment where speaking up is encouraged, and all reports are considered seriously, whether they are made directly or through internal escalation routes.

Training, Monitoring, and Improvement

We provide relevant training to help staff understand modern slavery risks and recognise indicators of abuse. This training is especially important for teams involved in procurement, contractor oversight, and supplier engagement. In addition, Towerhill Storage monitors developments in legislation, industry practice, and emerging risk areas so that our controls remain effective. Our aim is not only compliance, but continuous improvement in how we identify and prevent harm.

Modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly as supply chains evolve. For this reason, we keep our processes under review and update them where necessary. We also encourage a culture of vigilance, where unusual practices are questioned and ethical concerns are escalated promptly. Through ongoing monitoring, supplier engagement, and accountability, we work to strengthen our safeguards and uphold the values reflected in this statement.

Annual Review and Accountability This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. The review considers changes in risk, lessons learned from audits or investigations, and updates to law or best practice. Following review, Towerhill Storage will continue to refine its procedures and strengthen its response to modern slavery risks. Our annual review process demonstrates accountability and our determination to keep improving. We remain steadfast in our zero-tolerance stance and our responsibility to protect human dignity throughout our operations and supply chains.
