Modern slavery statement
This statement is made under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and covers the financial year ended 30 June 2026.
Our commitment
Core Communication Retail Limited, which trades as Core Accessories, is committed to conducting business ethically, responsibly and with integrity.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and all forms of exploitation. We are committed to taking reasonable steps to help prevent modern slavery within our business and supply chain.
We are committed to acting ethically in all our business relationships and to promoting responsible sourcing and ethical business practices throughout our operations.
Our supply chain
Core sources goods and materials from outside of the UK and is committed to establishing and maintaining a competitive, reliable and sustainable supply chain, and to always act in an ethical and socially responsible manner at all times. Core requires suppliers to demonstrate that they are committed to the identification and elimination of modern slavery in their supply chains.
Core works with suppliers to understand their risks such that additional verification work can be undertaken, when deemed necessary.
Suppliers are required to demonstrate that they provide safe working conditions where necessary, treat workers with dignity and respect, and act ethically and within the law in their use of labour.
Our approach
There are clear protocols for reporting suspected instances of modern slavery identified either within the directly-employed workforce or wider supply chain. All such instances will be investigated and reported, allowing management to monitor possible breaches.
Our policies
We support responsible business practices through policies and procedures covering:
- Ethical business conduct
- Responsible sourcing
- Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
- Reporting concerns where appropriate
- Supplier due diligence and risk assessment
Looking ahead
As our business continues to grow, we will continue to review our processes, supplier relationships and sourcing practices to help identify and address potential modern slavery risks.
We remain committed to continuous improvement and to working with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to responsible and ethical business practices.
