Modern Slavery Statement for Alperton Storage

Alperton Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and controls that guide our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and all forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines the dignity and freedom of workers.

As a responsible storage provider, Alperton Storage expects the same ethical standards from employees, contractors, and suppliers. Our commitment is rooted in the belief that every person should work voluntarily, safely, and under fair conditions. To support this, we assess risks in our business activities and seek to identify areas where vulnerability may exist, particularly in labour sourcing, cleaning, maintenance, logistics, and outsourced services.

We require suppliers to uphold our expectations through contractual commitments and due diligence checks. Supplier audits are an essential part of our prevention framework, allowing us to review labour practices, employment documentation, working hours, wage compliance, and worker welfare. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and may require corrective action, increased monitoring, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met.

Our Approach to Prevention

Alperton Storage embeds anti-slavery controls into procurement and operational oversight. Before engaging new suppliers, we review their policies, business practices, and any available evidence of ethical recruitment and fair treatment. Existing suppliers may also be audited periodically or when risk indicators suggest a need for closer scrutiny. This helps ensure that our Alperton Storage modern slavery statement is supported by meaningful action rather than intention alone.

Reporting channels are available so that employees and associated workers can raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be made through internal management routes, to designated compliance representatives, or via anonymous mechanisms where available. We encourage early reporting of any suspicion, including signs of coercion, debt bondage, withheld documents, threats, deceptive recruitment, or unsafe working arrangements. All concerns are treated seriously, reviewed discreetly, and investigated in line with our internal procedures.

Training and awareness are also central to our approach. Managers and relevant staff are encouraged to recognise the indicators of modern slavery and understand how to respond appropriately. By strengthening awareness across the organisation, Alperton Storage aims to reduce the risk of exploitation and create a culture in which ethical conduct is expected at every level.

Our commitment extends beyond compliance to continuous improvement. We monitor emerging risks, review supplier performance, and update internal controls when necessary. If a case of suspected modern slavery is identified, we will act swiftly to protect affected individuals, support any required investigation, and work with appropriate stakeholders to address the issue responsibly. We believe that vigilance and accountability are essential to maintaining trust in our operations.

Governance and Accountability

Senior leadership holds responsibility for overseeing the implementation of this statement and ensuring that the Alperton Storage anti-slavery policy is applied consistently. Responsibility is shared across procurement, operations, and management teams so that risks are identified early and decisions reflect our ethical standards. Where improvements are needed, actions are recorded and tracked to completion.

This statement will be reviewed annually to reflect changes in our business, supplier base, and legal or regulatory expectations. The annual review allows us to measure progress, identify gaps, and reinforce our zero-tolerance stance. Any updates will be made to ensure the statement remains accurate, effective, and aligned with our commitment to preventing modern slavery.

Alperton Storage believes that responsible business practices are fundamental to long-term success. By maintaining robust controls, conducting supplier audits, providing reporting channels, and reviewing our approach each year, we aim to protect human rights and promote fair treatment throughout our supply chain.

We will continue to strengthen our safeguards and uphold the principles set out in this modern slavery statement. Through diligence, transparency, and decisive action, Alperton Storage reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our business or in the services that support it.
