Modern Slavery Statement for Leavesgreen Storage
Leavesgreen Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, forced labour, human trafficking, and exploitation within our operations and supply chains. As a responsible storage provider, we recognise that modern slavery can exist in many forms, including debt bondage, coercion, and the withholding of personal freedom, and we remain vigilant in identifying and addressing risk.
Our zero-tolerance policy is central to our approach. We do not permit any form of modern slavery in our workforce, supplier relationships, or business activities. All employment decisions are made in accordance with applicable labour laws, and we expect every worker, contractor, and supplier associated with Leavesgreen Storage to uphold the same standards. This commitment is embedded in our procurement process, onboarding procedures, and ongoing business oversight.
We require our suppliers and service partners to demonstrate ethical labour practices and compliance with human rights standards. Before entering into a commercial relationship, we assess risk indicators such as labour practices, geographic exposure, and the nature of the goods or services provided. Where appropriate, we conduct supplier audits to verify that modern slavery controls are in place and that workers are treated fairly, paid appropriately, and able to work voluntarily.
Supplier audits are an important part of our due diligence framework. These reviews may include document checks, process verification, and discussions with management about recruitment practices, subcontracting, and workforce conditions. If concerns are identified, we seek immediate clarification and may require corrective action plans, enhanced monitoring, or termination of the relationship where risks cannot be responsibly managed. We believe that regular scrutiny helps strengthen accountability across the Leavesgreen storage supply chain.
To support early detection of issues, we provide clear reporting channels for employees, contractors, and suppliers to raise concerns in good faith. Any allegation or suspicion of exploitation is treated seriously and investigated promptly. We encourage individuals to speak up without fear of retaliation, victimisation, or disadvantage. Reports may be made through internal management routes, and concerns are escalated to the appropriate decision-makers for review and action in line with our safeguarding obligations.
Training and awareness also support our anti-slavery commitments. Relevant staff members are made aware of the signs of forced labour, coercion, identity document retention, and unusual recruitment arrangements. In addition, procurement and operational teams receive guidance on recognising risks in service contracts and vendor relationships. By strengthening awareness, Leavesgreen Storage aims to reduce the likelihood that modern slavery could enter or persist in any part of our business.
We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly as our supplier base, market conditions, and operational requirements evolve. For this reason, our controls are not static. Each year, we conduct an internal review of our policies, supplier risk assessments, audit findings, and incident handling to ensure our measures remain effective and proportionate. This annual review is used to identify improvements and update our action plan where needed.
The annual review also helps us measure progress against our commitment to responsible business conduct. Where gaps are identified, we strengthen due diligence, refine supplier standards, or improve staff training. We expect all business partners to cooperate with these efforts and to share our determination to prevent exploitation. Through ongoing vigilance, robust audits, trusted reporting channels, and regular review, Leavesgreen Storage reinforces its zero-tolerance policy and continues building a supply chain based on dignity, fairness, and accountability.
