Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: There is particular concern w/our Tier 1, 2, & 3 suppliers in India, Taiwan, & China, where there may be reliance on migrant workers; this creates risks for potential ethical/compliance issues.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Migrants
- Location: China India Taiwan
- Mitigation: Supplier audits, monitoring, and compliance requirements
- Risk: Less visibility with sub-suppliers
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Other vulnerable groups
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: We continue to hold our Tier 1 supplier to standards set out in our Supplier Sustainability code, which obligates the supplier to flow down the standards to their own supply chain, and will enforce those requirements via audits and monitoring.
- Risk: n/a
- Area: The statement does not include a third risk.
- Mitigation: The statement does not include a third risk.
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.
07 Ownership and control

Spirax Group Plc

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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
