The Confraternity of Saint James – trading under Camino Pilgrim™ is committed to tackling the issue of modern slavery in all its forms. We strive to ensure that acts of modern slavery and human trafficking cannot occur anywhere within our organisations or our supply chains, and we are committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to prevent this from happening. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and will not knowingly appoint or work with any supplier or partner who cannot demonstrate the same level of commitment in this area. We fully support the investigation and reporting of any supplier found to be in breach of our modern-slavery policy and approach to modern-slavery and human trafficking.  We also have a role to play in making our members aware of the importance of eradicating modern slavery.
