Modern Slavery Statement for Millbank Storage
Millbank Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This modern slavery statement sets out our zero-tolerance approach to slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, including exploitation, debt bondage, coercion, and hidden labour abuse. Our Millbank Storage modern slavery commitment applies to all employees, contractors, and suppliers, and it is supported by policies, oversight, and training designed to reduce risk and promote ethical practice.
Our governance framework is built on the principle that no commercial objective can justify exploitation. We expect every person working for or with Millbank Storage to act with honesty and to uphold our values. The company’s leadership reviews ethical conduct regularly and ensures that modern slavery risks are considered alongside wider compliance matters. We do not accept any form of forced or trafficked labour, and any breach of this position may lead to suspension, termination, or reporting to the relevant authorities.
To support this position, Millbank Storage carries out risk-based supplier audits and due diligence checks. New suppliers are assessed before engagement, and existing suppliers are reviewed at appropriate intervals, with greater scrutiny applied to higher-risk categories, geographies, or labour-intensive services. Our audits may include document checks, contract reviews, worker welfare assessments, and verification of recruitment practices. Where concerns arise, suppliers are required to implement corrective actions within agreed timeframes. Failure to improve may result in the ending of the business relationship. This approach helps strengthen the Millbank Storage statement on modern slavery across our supply chain.
Millbank Storage also provides clear reporting channels so concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation. Employees and workers are encouraged to report any suspicion of exploitation, unsafe recruitment, withheld wages, identity document retention, or other indicators of modern slavery. Reports may be made through line management, senior leadership, or internal compliance processes, and all concerns are handled confidentially wherever possible. We treat every report seriously and investigate promptly, ensuring that any affected individuals are supported and that appropriate action is taken. Our aim is to create a culture where speaking up is both welcomed and protected.
Training is an important part of our prevention strategy. Relevant staff receive guidance on recognising signs of exploitation, understanding supplier risk, and responding appropriately to concerns. Managers involved in procurement and contract oversight are expected to apply enhanced diligence when reviewing labour practices, especially in sectors where the risk of abuse is known to be higher. By combining awareness, oversight, and clear accountability, the Millbank Storage modern slavery statement reinforces our wider commitment to responsible business conduct. We seek continuous improvement rather than minimum compliance, and we expect our partners to share that expectation.
Our controls are designed not only to identify risks but also to prevent them from entering our operations. Contract terms require suppliers to comply with applicable labour laws and to maintain ethical recruitment and employment practices. We also reserve the right to request supporting evidence, undertake further review, or escalate concerns where necessary. These measures reflect our belief that a strong Millbank Storage slavery statement must be practical, credible, and embedded in day-to-day decision-making. Ethical sourcing is therefore not a one-off exercise, but a continuing responsibility across the business.
This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with legal requirements and operational changes. The annual review considers supplier performance, audit findings, training uptake, reported concerns, and any emerging risks linked to modern slavery. Where improvements are needed, Millbank Storage will update its policies, strengthen controls, or enhance due diligence accordingly. We believe transparency, reflection, and action are essential to maintaining a robust anti-slavery framework. The annual review also allows us to track progress and reinforce accountability across the organisation.
Millbank Storage remains resolute in its zero-tolerance stance. We will continue to work with employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to help ensure that modern slavery has no place in our business or supply chain. This Modern Slavery Statement for Millbank Storage demonstrates our commitment to ethical operations, responsible procurement, and the protection of human dignity. Through ongoing supplier audits, trusted reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to maintain a strong and effective response to this serious global issue.
