Modern Slavery Statement for Oldmalden Storage

Oldmalden Storage is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps taken by Oldmalden Storage to prevent modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour within our operations and supply chains. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms and in many sectors, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits vulnerable people. Our commitment applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers, and partners associated with our storage services.

Our Commitment and Principles

Oldmalden Storage expects everyone acting on its behalf to uphold ethical and lawful conduct. We aim to ensure that our business decisions do not contribute to exploitation in any way. Our internal policies are designed to support fair recruitment, safe working conditions, and respectful treatment of workers. We also seek to promote transparency in our supply chain by identifying potential risks, assessing them carefully, and responding swiftly where concerns arise. This approach is a core part of our responsibility as a modern storage provider.

Supplier due diligence is a key part of our anti-slavery programme. Before entering into new relationships, we assess suppliers based on the nature of their services, geographic risk, labour practices, and compliance history. Where appropriate, we request evidence of employment standards, right-to-work checks, and policies addressing human rights. We reserve the right to conduct supplier audits, either directly or through approved third parties, to verify compliance with our standards. If issues are identified, we expect prompt corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.

Supplier Audits and Risk Management

Our supplier audits are intended to help identify hidden risks and reinforce accountability. Audits may include document reviews, site assessments, worker interviews, and checks on subcontracting arrangements. The findings are reviewed by management, and any concerns are tracked until resolved. We place particular focus on higher-risk categories such as cleaning, maintenance, security, transport, and outsourced labour. By regularly reviewing these relationships, Oldmalden Storage strengthens its ability to detect warning signs of exploitation early and respond effectively.

The company also provides training and awareness support so that relevant staff can recognise signs of modern slavery. Indicators may include restricted movement, wage withholding, excessive overtime, or unusual control over workers’ documents. This knowledge helps our teams apply the right level of scrutiny in procurement and contract management. We believe that prevention works best when everyone understands the risk and shares responsibility for reducing it.

Reporting Channels and Concerns

Oldmalden Storage encourages anyone who suspects wrongdoing to speak up without fear of retaliation. Concerns can be raised through internal management routes, including supervisors and designated compliance personnel, and will be handled with sensitivity and confidentiality where possible. Reports are reviewed promptly, and the company takes all allegations seriously. Retaliation against whistleblowers is not tolerated, and individuals raising concerns in good faith will be supported. We expect the same standards from our suppliers and require them to maintain effective reporting mechanisms within their own operations.

Where a concern is substantiated, we will take appropriate action, which may include further investigation, remediation plans, supplier disengagement, or referral to relevant authorities. Our objective is not only to respond to incidents but also to prevent recurrence. This commitment reflects the values of Oldmalden Storage and our broader responsibility to protect dignity across our business relationships.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with current legal requirements and best practice. The review considers audit outcomes, reported concerns, supplier performance, training activity, and any changes in risk profile. Findings from the review are used to update policies, strengthen controls, and improve training. We see modern slavery prevention as an ongoing duty rather than a one-time exercise.

Oldmalden Storage will continue to refine its approach through regular monitoring, stronger supplier engagement, and better awareness across the business. Our goal is to maintain a supply chain that reflects our ethical standards and our zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation. Through vigilance, accountability, and continuous improvement, we aim to ensure that our operations remain a safe and responsible part of the storage sector.
