Additional structured Wikidata facts list headquarters: London; stock exchanges: London Stock Exchange. External links found through that exact match are isolated on the dedicated source page.

Demonstrated progress
Meeting and travelling one to two times a year with our suppliers helps close the gap between audit, supplier and retailer. We have a strong work ethic with our suppliers and on meeting call our any nonconformity's to ensure their workforce has a voice and that there is no suppression in the work place.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Modern Slavery in general updating our supplier base, based on the annual questionnaire and being compliant.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Migrants Refugees
- Mitigation: We have reached out to our supplier base to confirm we do not tolerate modern slavery within our supplier chain. We have requested transparency in the supplier chain with regards to Xinjiang province and the issues that are currently represented there and how they are combating it to ensure product is compliant and peoples needs are met and not disregarded through non-compliance and human ethics.
- Risk: Being aware of our supplier base and how they affect Xinjiang province with regards to manufacturing in these parts and to confirm our product is not made within this region.
- Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Mitigation: Reaching out to the supplier base to be more transparent in the dealings with Xinjiang province based on manufacturing and who is affected. And how to improve working conditions.
- Risk: Chasing updated audits and cap reports for review for the new year.
- Group: Migrants Refugees Children
- Mitigation: Making sure they are aware of any non-conformity and use the union to support them
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.

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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
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.
13 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
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.
