Modern Slavery Statement for Cubitttown Storage

Cubitttown Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and child exploitation across our operations and supply chains. We recognise that a zero-tolerance policy is essential to protecting people and maintaining responsible business practices.

Our approach applies to all areas of the business, including procurement, facilities management, logistics, maintenance, and third-party services. We expect every employee, contractor, and supplier to uphold the same standards. Any breach of this commitment is treated seriously, investigated promptly, and may result in termination of a business relationship or employment action.

We also understand that modern slavery risks may exist in extended supply networks, particularly where services involve labour-intensive work or subcontracting. For that reason, Cubitttown Storage assesses risk continuously and takes reasonable and proportionate steps to reduce exposure. We aim to work only with organisations that share our values and can demonstrate ethical employment practices.

Our Policies and Governance

To support our commitment, we maintain internal policies covering ethical sourcing, recruitment, whistleblowing, and supplier conduct. These policies are reviewed by management and communicated to relevant teams so that awareness remains high. Our leaders are responsible for ensuring that modern slavery prevention remains embedded in day-to-day decision-making and operational oversight.

Training is provided where needed so staff can recognise warning signs such as restricted movement, unsafe living conditions, withheld documents, debt bondage, or unusual control over workers. We encourage a culture of vigilance and accountability. Anyone acting on behalf of Cubitttown Storage is expected to challenge concerns and escalate them without delay.

Supplier onboarding includes due diligence checks designed to identify risk before a relationship begins. Depending on the nature of the service, this may include reviewing labour policies, employment practices, subcontracting arrangements, and relevant compliance history. Where risks are identified, we may request corrective action, additional evidence, or enhanced monitoring before approving the supplier.

Supplier Audits and Monitoring

We conduct supplier audits and reviews on a risk-based basis. Higher-risk suppliers may be audited more frequently, with attention given to recruitment methods, wage practices, working hours, identity document retention, and freedom of movement. Audits may be carried out through questionnaires, document checks, site visits, or independent assessments where appropriate.

Where a supplier fails to meet our expectations, we seek immediate remediation. This may include requiring updated policies, corrective action plans, staff training, or evidence that workers are treated fairly and lawfully. If concerns are serious or unresolved, Cubitttown Storage will suspend or end the arrangement. Our aim is not only compliance, but meaningful prevention of harm.

We also recognise that supply chain transparency is a continuous process rather than a one-time exercise. Therefore, we keep records of due diligence findings, monitor progress against actions, and review trends over time. This helps us strengthen controls and respond effectively to emerging risks in the broader Cubitttown Storage supply network.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We encourage all employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders to report concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical labour practices. Reports may be made through internal management routes, HR channels, compliance procedures, or whistleblowing mechanisms. Concerns will be handled sensitively, and where possible, confidentiality will be maintained.

No person will suffer retaliation for raising a genuine concern in good faith. This protection is central to our zero-tolerance approach and supports early intervention. We take every report seriously, investigate it proportionately, and take remedial action where needed. If allegations are substantiated, we will act decisively to protect affected individuals and prevent recurrence.

In addition, we promote awareness so that workers and business partners understand what modern slavery can look like and how to raise concerns safely. Communication materials, policy updates, and management briefings help reinforce our expectations across the business. We believe that effective reporting channels are a key safeguard in responsible operations.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Our Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure it remains accurate, relevant, and effective. The review considers changes in legislation, operational risk, supplier performance, audit outcomes, and any reported concerns. This process helps Cubitttown Storage refine its controls and improve accountability year after year.

Following each review, we identify priorities for the next period, which may include enhanced supplier checks, additional training, or stronger documentation standards. By continuously improving our practices, we aim to maintain high ethical standards and contribute to the elimination of modern slavery in all forms.

Through these commitments, Cubitttown Storage seeks to operate responsibly, protect human dignity, and ensure that our business relationships reflect our values. We recognise that vigilance, transparency, and action are essential in preventing exploitation and supporting fair treatment for all.
