Modern Slavery Statement for Foresthill Storage
Foresthill Storage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out the principles and actions that guide our approach to preventing slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking across our operations and supply chains. We recognize that modern slavery can occur in many forms and in many industries, and we take our duty seriously to help identify, prevent, and address any related risks.
As part of our Foresthill Storage modern slavery commitment, we operate a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of modern slavery or human trafficking. This applies to our employees, contractors, suppliers, and any third parties acting on our behalf. We expect everyone connected with our business to uphold the same standards of integrity, transparency, and lawful conduct. Any breach of this policy is treated as a serious matter and may result in the termination of business relationships or employment where appropriate.
Our governance framework supports ongoing oversight of this commitment. Senior management is responsible for ensuring that controls are in place and that concerns are escalated promptly. We carry out risk-based checks on relevant areas of our business and review the practices of suppliers that may present a higher exposure to labour-related risks. This includes looking at labour standards, recruitment practices, and compliance with applicable laws and ethical expectations.
Supplier management is a key part of our Foresthill Storage anti-slavery statement. We expect suppliers to demonstrate ethical recruitment, fair working conditions, and respect for workers’ rights. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits and assessments to evaluate compliance with our standards. These audits may include document reviews, contractual checks, and follow-up actions where gaps are identified. If a supplier fails to meet our requirements, we seek corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if necessary.
We also require suppliers to confirm that they do not knowingly use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour in any part of their operations. Our procurement processes are designed to reduce the risk of misconduct by considering ethical performance alongside commercial factors. By embedding these expectations into supplier onboarding and review, we strengthen the resilience of the modern slavery policy at Foresthill Storage and help encourage responsible business practices throughout the supply chain.
To support early reporting and swift action, Foresthill Storage provides multiple internal reporting channels for employees and relevant third parties to raise concerns in good faith. Concerns may relate to labour exploitation, unsafe recruitment, coercion, withheld documents, or suspicious practices in the supply chain. All reports are treated seriously, handled confidentially where possible, and investigated appropriately. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern honestly.
Awareness is essential to effective prevention. We encourage staff to remain alert to signs of exploitation and to understand the responsibilities that come with their roles. Training and internal communication are used to reinforce our expectations and to ensure that key teams know how to spot and escalate potential risks. This helps maintain a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and supported.
Our approach is reviewed and strengthened through an annual review process. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, due diligence measures, supplier oversight, and reporting procedures. We also consider changes in legislation, emerging risks, and lessons learned from any incidents or investigations. This review helps ensure that our response remains relevant, practical, and aligned with best practice.
Foresthill Storage will continue to improve its controls and maintain vigilance against exploitation in any form. We are committed to acting responsibly, maintaining robust standards, and promoting fair treatment across our operations and supply chains. Through clear expectations, supplier audits, reporting channels, and regular review, our Foresthill Storage statement on modern slavery reflects a continuing commitment to ethical business conduct and respect for human dignity.
