Modern Slavery Statement for Raynerslane Storage

Raynerslane Storage is committed to operating with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights in every part of our business. This modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in our operations and throughout our supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can affect many industries, including storage, logistics, maintenance, cleaning, security, and procurement. As a responsible business, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of exploitation and expect the same high standards from all parties we work with.

Our approach is guided by the principle that every individual deserves dignity, fair treatment, and safe working conditions. At Raynerslane Storage, we aim to identify and reduce risk through due diligence, staff awareness, supplier oversight, and ongoing monitoring. We are committed to strengthening our controls year after year and ensuring that our anti-slavery framework remains practical, effective, and responsive to emerging risks.

This statement applies to all employees, contractors, consultants, and suppliers engaged by Raynerslane Storage. We expect our people to act ethically and to challenge any behaviour that may indicate coercion, debt bondage, withheld wages, document retention, or unsafe recruitment practices. Any concerns raised will be treated seriously and investigated promptly in line with our internal procedures.

Our Zero-Tolerance Policy

Raynerslane Storage has a clear and uncompromising zero-tolerance policy on modern slavery. We do not permit forced labour, child labour, deceptive recruitment, or any practice that removes a person’s freedom to choose their work. This policy applies across our own operations and extends to every supplier relationship we maintain. Where risks are identified, we will take action proportionate to the issue, which may include corrective measures, increased monitoring, suspension of work, or termination of the relationship.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

We carry out supplier due diligence before onboarding and continue through periodic supplier audits and assessments. These checks may include reviewing labour policies, wage practices, right-to-work controls, subcontracting arrangements, and training records. Higher-risk suppliers may be subject to more frequent audits, while lower-risk suppliers are still monitored through contractual obligations and performance reviews. We also expect suppliers to cascade equivalent standards to their own networks.

Our procurement decisions take into account not only price and service, but also a supplier’s commitment to ethical conduct. Where weaknesses are identified, we work with suppliers to implement improvement plans and set deadlines for remediation. If satisfactory progress is not made, Raynerslane Storage reserves the right to end the relationship. This approach supports a resilient and responsible storage sector supply chain.

Reporting Channels and Safeguarding

We encourage anyone connected with Raynerslane Storage to report concerns about modern slavery or unethical labour practices as soon as possible. Reporting can be made through internal management channels, designated compliance personnel, or confidential whistleblowing routes established under our internal governance processes. Reports may be raised anonymously where permitted, and all disclosures will be handled sensitively, fairly, and without retaliation. We make it clear that raising a concern in good faith will never result in punishment or disadvantage.

When a report is received, it is reviewed promptly, and appropriate safeguarding measures are considered. These may include preserving evidence, separating individuals from potential risk, and liaising with specialist advisers where necessary. We recognise that modern slavery indicators can be subtle, so staff are trained to notice warning signs such as restricted movement, unusual control over wages, excessive working hours, or signs of fear and dependency.

Training plays an important role in preventing exploitation. Relevant employees receive guidance on recognising risks in procurement, supplier management, and day-to-day operations. By building awareness, we improve our ability to identify issues early and respond effectively. Our commitment extends beyond compliance; it reflects the values that define Raynerslane Storage as a responsible business.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains current, effective, and aligned with legal obligations and best practice. The review will consider audit findings, reported concerns, staff training outcomes, supplier performance, and any changes in our business activities or risk profile. Where improvements are needed, we will update our controls, strengthen monitoring, and refine our procedures.

Raynerslane Storage is committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of modern slavery. Through sustained oversight, responsible sourcing, and clear reporting pathways, we aim to protect workers and uphold ethical standards across our operations. This statement represents our ongoing pledge to act with vigilance, accountability, and respect for human rights in everything we do.
