Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
At this time, we do not have standard payment terms across our business. There is a wide range of payment terms offered by, and negotiated with, our suppliers. Our payment hubs, hosted on multiple legacy systems, operate either weekly or fortnightly payment runs. We are in the process of standardising to 19 different payment terms and implementing these across our business.
- Other payment-term information
The date of receipt of supplier invoices is not recorded. Reported statistics are calculated from the date of invoice. Supplier receipts of payment dates are unknown. For reporting purposes, receipts of payment dates are estimates.
Within our procurement programme, our intention is to introduce best practices and optimise to a suite of standard payment terms across the business. - Dispute resolution process
Payment disputes are typically initially referred to the finance function, who will try to resolve them by agreement through discussion with the supplier. If resolution cannot be reached within a reasonable period, or technical in nature, the matter will typically be escalated to the procurement function, who will try to reach resolution by agreement through further discussion with the supplier. As necessary, appropriate further dispute resolution mechanisms provided for in the contract will be used (i.e. reference to mediation, arbitration or litigation).

Grievance mechanisms
Using anonymous whistleblowing services, such as a helpline or mobile phone app Through trade unions or other worker representative groups
Other monitoring
We also monitor working conditions and overall performance by doing risk assessments and regular checks such as EcoVadis, EcoVadis IQ and our own questionnaires to suppliers.
Demonstrated progress
Using the EcoVadis ratings platform and EV-IQ Plus platform, we now have visibility into the sustainability performance (and labour & human rights performance) of more than 500 suppliers and potential ESG risk for over 7,000 suppliers. As a result, total procurement spend with a supplier who has a valid EcoVadis medal increased to 44% for FY 2024/25.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Child labour related to supply chains in mining.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Don't know
- Group: Children
- Mitigation: JM has identified human rights risks among suppliers, but further assessment is needed to confirm links to mining. Our policies, purchasing terms and conditions and supplier code of conduct explicitly prohibit child labour, and our screening tool EcoVardis IQ screens high risk human rights organisations.
- Risk: Sourcing minerals from conflict regions
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
- Location: China South Africa
- Mitigation: JM sources from conflict-affected and high-risk areas but only from suppliers who meet Responsible Minerals Initiative due diligence standards.
A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.
09 Ownership and control
People with significant control
No individual or entity with signficant control
- Notified
- 26 June 2017
PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
10 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
11 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
12 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
13 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
14 Environmental register

This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
