Modern Slavery Statement for Rushgreen Storage
Rushgreen Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, respect, and accountability. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to help prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation within our operations and supply chain. We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist in any sector, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any practice that undermines human rights or dignity.
Our approach is founded on responsible governance, ethical decision-making, and clear oversight. We expect every employee, contractor, and business partner to support these standards. By embedding modern slavery prevention into our policies and procedures, Rushgreen Storage strengthens its commitment to lawful and fair conduct across all business activities.
We also understand that vigilance must be continuous. Modern slavery risks may arise through recruitment, temporary labour, outsourced services, logistics, facilities management, or the sourcing of goods and materials. For that reason, our Rushgreen Storage modern slavery statement is reviewed as part of our broader compliance and risk management framework.
Rushgreen Storage applies a zero-tolerance policy to slavery and human trafficking. Any confirmed breach of this policy may result in termination of a business relationship or disciplinary action, depending on the circumstances. Our internal controls support fair treatment, lawful working conditions, and the prompt escalation of concerns where risks are identified.
Supplier audits are an important part of our preventative approach. We assess selected suppliers and service providers using risk-based review methods that consider geography, service type, labour practices, and transparency of operations. These audits may include document checks, site visits where appropriate, and evaluations of supplier policies relating to recruitment, wages, working hours, and worker welfare.
Where issues are identified during supplier audits, we seek corrective action and increased monitoring. If remediation is not possible or a supplier fails to demonstrate meaningful improvement, Rushgreen Storage may disengage from the relationship. This helps ensure that our storage business does not contribute, directly or indirectly, to exploitative practices.
We encourage all workers and stakeholders to use our reporting channels if they suspect modern slavery or any related abuse. Concerns can be raised through internal managers, designated compliance leads, or formal reporting procedures established for safeguarding and ethical conduct. Reports are treated seriously, investigated promptly, and handled sensitively to protect confidentiality and prevent retaliation.
Our reporting channels are intended to support early intervention. We want individuals to feel confident that they can raise concerns without fear of disadvantage. If a concern suggests immediate risk to a person’s safety, we prioritise urgent action and cooperate with relevant authorities where necessary. This reflects our commitment to responsible oversight within Rushgreen Storage operations and the wider supply chain.
Training and awareness also form part of our prevention measures. Employees with responsibilities in procurement, supplier management, and operational oversight receive guidance on recognising warning signs, reviewing documentation, and escalating concerns. This helps ensure that our modern slavery controls remain practical, informed, and effective.
Rushgreen Storage is committed to an annual review of this statement and the measures it supports. Each year, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, supplier audit outcomes, reporting activity, and any emerging risks that may affect our operations or supply chain. This review enables us to refine our approach and strengthen our standards over time.
As part of the annual review, we consider whether additional due diligence, updated training, or revised supplier requirements are needed. We also monitor legal and regulatory developments to ensure our response remains aligned with best practice. This ongoing process supports a more resilient and ethical storage services model.
By maintaining a clear zero-tolerance policy, carrying out supplier audits, providing trusted reporting channels, and committing to an annual review, Rushgreen Storage reaffirms its determination to prevent modern slavery in all forms. We expect the same commitment from those who work with us, so that our Rushgreen Storage modern slavery statement continues to reflect responsible business conduct and respect for human rights.
