Modern Slavery Statement for Longford Storage

Longford Storage modern slavery commitment and zero-tolerance policy Longford Storage is committed to operating ethically, responsibly, and with zero tolerance for modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, or any form of exploitation within our business or supply chain.

This Longford Storage modern slavery statement sets out the steps we take to identify, prevent, and address risks of modern slavery across our operations. We recognise that storage, logistics, procurement, and facilities-related activities can involve multiple suppliers and service partners, so vigilance is essential.

Supplier audit and due diligence process for ethical sourcing We expect every person working with or for Longford Storage to act with integrity, respect human rights, and comply with all applicable laws. Any breach of this policy may lead to corrective action, contract termination, or removal from our approved supplier base.

Our Commitment and Governance

Our approach to modern slavery is rooted in strong governance and accountability. Senior management reviews slavery and human trafficking risks as part of our broader ethical business and compliance framework. We aim to build a culture where concerns are identified early and addressed promptly.

Zero tolerance policy means that exploitation in any form is unacceptable, whether it occurs directly within our workforce or indirectly through suppliers, subcontractors, agencies, or labour providers. We do not knowingly work with any party that fails to uphold these standards.

Reporting concerns through internal channels and compliance routes We also seek to strengthen awareness among employees involved in procurement, operations, and contract management so they can recognise warning signs such as unusual recruitment practices, restricted movement, withheld wages, or poor working conditions.

Supply Chain Due Diligence

Longford Storage applies risk-based checks when onboarding and reviewing suppliers. This includes evaluating country risk, sector risk, service type, and the nature of the labour used. Where risks are higher, we request additional evidence of controls and ethical labour practices.

Supplier audits

are an important part of our modern slavery prevention measures. We may conduct supplier audits, request documentation, and assess labour standards through questionnaires, declarations, and review of policies. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate that they comply with our expectations and that they do not use forced, bonded, or trafficked labour.

Where issues are identified, we require corrective action plans with clear timeframes. If a supplier is unable or unwilling to remediate serious concerns, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. This helps protect the integrity of the Longford Storage supply chain and reinforces our commitment to responsible sourcing.

Reporting Concerns and Speaking Up

Annual review of modern slavery controls and improvements We encourage all employees, contractors, agency workers, and suppliers to raise concerns in good faith if they suspect modern slavery, exploitation, or unsafe labour practices. Concerns may be reported through internal management channels, line managers, or the designated compliance route established by the business.

Reports are treated seriously, handled discreetly, and investigated appropriately. Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern is not tolerated. We believe that effective reporting channels are essential for early intervention and for maintaining a safe, respectful, and lawful working environment.

Longford Storage also expects suppliers to communicate the same expectation within their own workforces and subcontracted networks. By promoting transparent reporting channels, we aim to detect risks sooner and support workers who may be vulnerable to coercion or abuse.

Training, Monitoring, and Annual Review

Ongoing monitoring and training to prevent modern slavery Our modern slavery statement is supported by ongoing employee awareness and periodic monitoring of compliance activities. Relevant teams receive guidance on spotting red flags and managing supplier relationships responsibly. We also review procurement decisions to ensure ethical considerations remain part of decision-making.

We conduct an annual review of this statement and our related controls to confirm they remain effective, proportionate, and aligned with our business activities. The review considers audit outcomes, supplier performance, reported concerns, and any emerging risk trends.

Where improvements are needed, we update our policies, strengthen supplier engagement, and refine our due diligence processes. Longford Storage is committed to continuous improvement and to playing its part in the prevention of modern slavery across all areas of operation.
