Modern Slavery Statement for Parkroyal Storage

Parkroyal Storage is committed to operating with integrity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the actions we take to prevent forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, child labour, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. Our approach reflects a clear zero-tolerance stance toward any practice that undermines dignity, freedom, or lawful employment.

We recognise that risks can arise in warehousing, logistics, equipment supply, cleaning, security, maintenance, and subcontracted services. For that reason, our commitment to ethical conduct applies not only to our direct activities but also to the businesses and individuals we engage with. The Parkroyal Storage modern slavery policy requires all employees, contractors, and suppliers to act lawfully, honestly, and transparently.

Our zero-tolerance policy is supported by clear procedures designed to identify, prevent, and respond to risks. We do not tolerate any supplier, partner, or worker engaging in coercive practices, withholding identity documents, imposing unfair recruitment fees, or restricting freedom of movement. If concerns are raised, they are treated seriously and investigated promptly.

To strengthen oversight, Parkroyal Storage conducts supplier audits and due diligence reviews based on the nature of the service, geographic risk, and level of dependency within the supply chain. These audits may include document checks, worker interview processes where appropriate, and assessments of recruitment practices, wage records, working hours, and subcontracting arrangements. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully and remedy any identified non-compliance within agreed timeframes.

The modern slavery framework at Parkroyal Storage also includes contract clauses requiring suppliers to comply with all relevant labour laws and maintain ethical sourcing standards. Where a serious breach is identified, we may suspend, terminate, or decline to renew the relationship. This approach helps ensure that ethical expectations remain more than a statement of principle; they are embedded in our commercial decisions.

Training and awareness are central to our response. Staff involved in procurement, operations, and contract management receive guidance on recognising indicators of exploitation, such as unusual recruitment arrangements, signs of intimidation, or evidence that workers are being controlled by third parties. Through this training, our people are better equipped to support the Parkroyal Storage slavery statement in day-to-day decision-making.

We provide multiple reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and other stakeholders may report suspected modern slavery indicators through internal management routes, compliance processes, or whistleblowing mechanisms established for confidential escalation. Reports are reviewed carefully, with appropriate action taken to protect individuals and address potential harm.

Parkroyal Storage is committed to ensuring that anyone who reports concerns in good faith is treated fairly and protected from victimisation. No one should be discouraged from speaking up. Where required, we will work with relevant experts, legal advisers, or external authorities to investigate allegations and improve controls. Our anti-slavery measures are designed to support safe disclosure and responsible intervention.

We also recognise that the fight against modern slavery requires continual improvement. Accordingly, this statement and the related controls are reviewed annually to assess their effectiveness and to identify emerging risks, lessons learned, and opportunities for stronger governance. The review considers audit findings, supplier performance, reported concerns, and changes in legislation or best practice.

Governance and Accountability

Parkroyal Storage assigns responsibility for modern slavery oversight to senior management, with regular monitoring of compliance activity and risk management outcomes. This governance structure ensures that the issue remains visible at leadership level and is integrated into procurement, operations, and supplier management. Where needed, corrective plans are tracked until completion.

In conclusion, Parkroyal Storage reaffirms its commitment to preventing modern slavery in all forms. By maintaining a zero-tolerance policy, strengthening supplier audits, offering secure reporting channels, and conducting an annual review, we aim to uphold the highest ethical standards and protect the rights and wellbeing of everyone connected to our business.
