Modern Slavery Statement for Holloway Storage
Holloway Storage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form. This statement sets out the principles and practical controls that guide our approach to preventing forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, debt bondage, and child labour across our operations and supply chain. As a storage provider, we recognise that the Holloway Storage modern slavery statement must reflect vigilance in procurement, contractor management, and day-to-day workplace practices.
Our commitment is grounded in respect for human rights and the belief that every person should work freely, safely, and with dignity. We expect all employees, agency workers, contractors, and suppliers to uphold the same standards. Any breach of this policy may result in corrective action, contract termination, or referral to relevant authorities where appropriate. The Holloway storage anti-slavery policy applies to all business decisions, from supplier selection to service delivery.
We use a risk-based due diligence process to identify higher-risk activities, particularly where labour-intensive services, subcontracting, or international sourcing may increase exposure. New and existing suppliers are assessed against ethical standards, including labour practices, recruitment methods, wage controls, and identity-document retention. The Holloway Storage slavery prevention framework requires suppliers to confirm compliance with applicable labour laws and our own supplier code of conduct.
Supplier audits form a key part of our controls. Depending on risk level, audits may include document reviews, site visits, worker interviews, and checks on working hours, payroll records, accommodation standards, and age verification. Where concerns are identified, we require a corrective action plan and monitor implementation closely. If a supplier fails to improve, we will consider suspending or ending the relationship. This approach supports the broader Holloway Storage modern slavery commitment to responsible procurement.
Our reporting channels are designed to enable concerns to be raised promptly and in confidence. Employees and external partners can report suspected issues through internal management routes, designated safeguarding leads, or confidential whistleblowing mechanisms. Reports may be made anonymously where permitted. We prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith. These reporting routes help ensure that the Holloway Storage anti-slavery statement is supported by practical action, not only policy.
Training is provided to relevant colleagues so they can recognise warning signs such as restriction of movement, withholding of documents, unexplained control by third parties, or inconsistent wage arrangements. Managers involved in procurement and supplier oversight receive additional guidance on ethical sourcing and escalation procedures. Awareness remains essential to maintaining the integrity of the modern slavery statement for Holloway Storage and to making sure risks are identified early.
We maintain records of due diligence, supplier assessments, incidents, and remediation activity to support transparency and continuous improvement. Each year, senior management reviews our controls, risk profile, and any reported concerns to determine whether updates are needed. The annual review considers changes in legislation, business structure, and supplier risk, ensuring our response remains current and effective.
This statement is part of our wider commitment to ethical business practice and applies to all operations controlled by Holloway Storage. We expect our people and partners to act with integrity, to challenge suspicious activity, and to support a culture where exploitation has no place. Through regular supplier audits, clear reporting channels, robust training, and an annual review cycle, Holloway Storage reaffirms its zero-tolerance policy and ongoing dedication to preventing modern slavery in every part of the business.
