Modern Slavery Statement for Gideapark Storage

Gideapark Storage is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitation within any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many industries and jurisdictions, and we therefore apply a proactive approach to identifying, preventing, and addressing risk.

As a storage business, we work with a range of suppliers, contractors, and service providers. We expect every partner to uphold the same ethical standards that guide our own conduct. Our modern slavery commitment is embedded in our procurement and supplier management practices, ensuring that business relationships are only maintained where there is clear evidence of lawful, fair, and responsible labour practices.

We have introduced a structured compliance framework designed to detect risk early and to support continuous improvement. This includes due diligence checks, contractual safeguards, and periodic reviews of supplier performance. Where concerns arise, we investigate promptly and take appropriate action, which may include corrective measures, suspension of orders, or termination of the relationship if standards are not met.

Gideapark Storage believes that prevention is more effective than response alone. For that reason, we train relevant staff to recognise warning signs of exploitation and to understand the responsibilities associated with ethical sourcing. Our teams are encouraged to apply careful scrutiny when selecting suppliers and to maintain records that demonstrate appropriate checks and oversight. This reinforces accountability across the business and strengthens our ability to safeguard vulnerable workers.

Supplier management is central to our approach. We reserve the right to conduct supplier audits and compliance assessments, either directly or through qualified third parties, where risk indicators justify further review. These audits may involve document checks, worker welfare verification, and examination of recruitment and employment practices. We expect suppliers to cooperate fully, to provide accurate information, and to implement remedial actions where issues are identified. Persistent non-compliance is treated seriously and may result in ending the business relationship.

Our anti-slavery controls also apply to subcontracting arrangements. We require suppliers to ensure that their own partners meet equivalent ethical standards and do not engage in exploitative practices. In this way, the principles of the Gideapark Storage modern slavery statement extend beyond direct contractual relationships and help reduce hidden risk deeper in the supply chain. We view this as an essential part of responsible business conduct.

Reporting suspected misconduct is a key part of our safeguard structure. Employees, contractors, and suppliers are expected to raise concerns if they believe modern slavery or related abuses may be present. Reports can be made through internal management channels, and all concerns are handled sensitively and with appropriate confidentiality. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

When a report is received, it is assessed promptly and escalated where necessary. If there is evidence of exploitation, we work with the relevant parties to protect affected individuals and to secure immediate remediation. In serious cases, we may involve the appropriate authorities. This approach reflects our zero-tolerance policy and our commitment to ensuring that risk is addressed without delay.

Our governance arrangements include oversight from senior management, who review compliance activity, reported concerns, and supplier risk information. This helps ensure that anti-slavery controls remain active and practical rather than symbolic. We also encourage a culture of responsibility, where every team member understands that ethical behaviour is part of everyday decision-making at Gideapark Storage.

We will review this statement annually to confirm its continued relevance, to measure progress, and to update our response as laws, risks, and operating conditions change. The annual review will consider supplier audit results, reported concerns, staff training, and any identified gaps in our controls. Where improvements are needed, we will revise procedures and strengthen oversight accordingly.

The annual cycle of review ensures that our modern slavery response remains dynamic and effective. It also allows us to reflect on lessons learned and to reinforce expectations across our supply base. By maintaining regular scrutiny, we aim to improve resilience and prevent modern slavery risks from taking root in any part of our operations.

Gideapark Storage is committed to continuous vigilance, responsible procurement, and ethical treatment of all people connected to our business. Through our zero-tolerance stance, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review process, we will continue to strengthen our safeguards and uphold the highest standards of integrity.
