Modern Slavery Statement for Bullscross Storage

Bullscross Storage is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery in any form. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to identify, prevent, and address risks of forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and other forms of exploitation across our operations and supply chains. Our approach applies to all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers associated with Bullscross Storage. We believe that every person has the right to work freely, safely, and with dignity, and we expect the same principle to guide every business relationship we enter.

Our modern slavery policy is embedded within our wider ethical standards and governance framework. We assess risk based on the nature of services provided, the location of operations, and the labour practices of our partners. Particular attention is given to suppliers in sectors where vulnerability may be higher, such as facilities management, maintenance, transport, security, cleaning, and outsourced support services. Where risk indicators are identified, we take proportionate action, which may include enhanced due diligence, contract review, corrective action plans, or termination of the relationship if concerns cannot be resolved.

Bullscross Storage maintains a clear zero-tolerance policy toward slavery and human trafficking. This means we do not knowingly engage with any party that benefits from exploitative labour practices or that fails to uphold fundamental human rights. All relevant colleagues receive training to help them recognise warning signs, including debt bondage, withholding of documents, coercion, restriction of movement, or unusual recruitment practices. Through this training, we reinforce the responsibility of every team member to act with integrity and to escalate concerns promptly.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We apply due diligence before onboarding suppliers and review key suppliers regularly thereafter. Our supplier checks include verification of business legitimacy, labour standards, and policies relating to recruitment, working hours, wages, and worker welfare. For higher-risk categories, we carry out supplier audits and request supporting documentation to assess compliance with ethical labour requirements. These audits may include site visits, workforce interviews where appropriate, and reviews of subcontracting arrangements to ensure transparency throughout the supply chain. If non-compliance is identified, we seek immediate remediation and monitor progress closely.

Supplier audits are an important part of our prevention strategy because they help us identify concerns that may not be visible through document review alone. We expect our suppliers to maintain accurate records, ensure fair treatment of workers, and flow down equivalent standards to their own subcontractors. We also include contractual clauses that require cooperation with investigations and adherence to anti-slavery commitments. Where a supplier cannot demonstrate adequate controls, we may suspend business pending corrective action or end the relationship altogether. This approach supports both accountability and continuous improvement.

We recognise that modern slavery risks can change over time, particularly as supply chains evolve or new service providers are introduced. For that reason, our Bullscross Storage modern slavery statement is supported by ongoing monitoring rather than a one-time assessment. We review emerging risks, update internal guidance, and ensure procurement decisions reflect ethical considerations as well as operational needs. By keeping our controls active and proportionate, we reduce the likelihood of exploitation entering our business network and strengthen trust with the communities in which we operate.

Reporting Channels and Escalation

Anyone who suspects modern slavery-related activity connected to Bullscross Storage is expected to raise the issue immediately through the appropriate internal reporting channels. Concerns may be escalated to line management, the compliance function, or senior leadership, depending on the nature and urgency of the matter. Reports are handled sensitively, and we aim to protect individuals who raise concerns in good faith from retaliation or disadvantage. Anonymous reporting may also be permitted where local processes allow, enabling workers and partners to speak up safely.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

Bullscross Storage will review this statement and the measures it supports at least annually. The review considers audit outcomes, risk assessments, training completion, supplier performance, and any reported concerns or incidents. Where weaknesses are identified, we will revise our controls and strengthen our processes accordingly. This annual review ensures our response remains effective, current, and aligned with our values. It also allows us to measure progress over time and maintain board-level oversight of our commitments.

Through this modern slavery statement, Bullscross Storage reaffirms its commitment to ethical conduct, responsible procurement, and respect for human rights. We will continue to work with employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to prevent exploitation wherever it may occur. Our goal is not only compliance, but meaningful action that contributes to safer working conditions and more transparent supply chains. By remaining vigilant and accountable, we aim to uphold the standards expected of a responsible storage business.
