Ethical manufacturing

We're committed ethical manufacturing at every stage of production. Yes, we strive to deliver the highest quality products to our customers, but we're also heavily involved within the manufacturing of our shutters, ensuring our products are sourced from approved suppliers outside and within the UK.

Ethical manufacturing in China Sedex’s SMETA

California Shutters is part of the TCMM Shutter Group Ltd. TCMM is committed to supplying top quality made to measure shutters for the UK, European, and American markets.  We recognise our responsibility to take a committed approach to modern slavery and human trafficking pursuant to the Modern Slavery Act of 2015.  That’s why all our products are manufactured in fully owned UK based facilities or sourced from Chinese suppliers who are compliant with Sedex’s SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) Audit. Our Audits are undertaken by Sedex’s approved auditors Verisio.

 

TCMM always does due diligence when taking on new suppliers, and regularly reviews its existing suppliers. We also frequently travel to China to meet with our manufacturing partners, as do the Verisio auditors.
