Modern Slavery Statement for Manorhouse Storage

Manorhouse Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, dignity, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and exploitative practices within our operations and supply chains. Our approach is based on a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of slavery or servitude, and we expect the same standards from all suppliers, contractors, and partners.

As a responsible business, Manorhouse Storage recognises that modern slavery can occur in many forms and across many sectors. We therefore maintain a clear framework for identifying, assessing, and reducing risk. This includes staff awareness, due diligence checks, and ongoing oversight of supplier relationships. We believe that ethical storage services must be built on fair treatment, transparency, and accountability.

Our commitment is supported by internal controls that promote lawful and ethical conduct at every level. We require all employees to act with care, vigilance, and professionalism when dealing with recruitment, procurement, and contractor management. Any concerns relating to labour exploitation are taken seriously and reviewed promptly under our safeguarding procedures.

Supplier risk management is a key part of our modern slavery prevention strategy. We carry out supplier audits and assessments to review working conditions, labour practices, wage arrangements, and compliance with relevant laws. Where appropriate, we may request documentation, conduct site visits, or require corrective action plans. If a supplier fails to meet our standards, we will work with them to improve performance or, where necessary, end the relationship.

We also use proportionate due diligence when selecting new suppliers and renewing existing agreements. This process considers geography, sector risk, workforce structure, and any history of ethical concerns. Our goal is to ensure that our supply chain reflects the same principles of fairness and responsibility that guide Manorhouse Storage itself.

Training plays an important role in supporting our response. Relevant teams receive information on recognising warning signs, including restricted movement, withheld documents, debt bondage, coercion, and unsafe working conditions. Awareness and prevention are essential, because modern slavery risks may be hidden and difficult to detect without a consistent and informed approach.

Reporting and Escalation

Manorhouse Storage provides multiple reporting channels for employees and business partners to raise concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made through line management, senior leadership, or designated internal reporting routes. All concerns are handled sensitively, and we aim to protect anyone who raises an issue in good faith from retaliation or disadvantage.

Any report is assessed promptly and escalated where needed. Depending on the nature of the concern, we may investigate internally, request further information from a supplier, or refer the matter to appropriate external authorities. We take all credible allegations seriously and apply a structured response that prioritises safety, evidence, and corrective action.

Our zero-tolerance policy means that confirmed cases of modern slavery will not be accepted under any circumstances. This applies to our own operations and across the supply chain. We expect suppliers to cooperate fully with investigations and to demonstrate improvement where issues are identified. Failure to do so may result in suspension or termination of the relationship.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal requirements and business operations. The review considers audit findings, reported concerns, supplier performance, training needs, and any emerging risks. Where improvements are identified, we update our processes and strengthen our controls accordingly.

Manorhouse Storage is committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery. We recognise that ethical responsibility is ongoing, and we will continue to refine our policies, strengthen supplier oversight, and encourage a culture where human rights are respected. Through consistent action, we aim to contribute to safer working practices and a more transparent supply chain.

In summary, this Modern Slavery Statement reflects our determination to operate responsibly and to ensure that modern slavery has no place in Manorhouse Storage or in the networks we rely on. We will continue to monitor, review, and improve our approach to uphold the highest standards of integrity.
