Demonstrated progress
We have made significant progress getting key and high-risk suppliers self-assessed, and are on track for all high-risk suppliers to complete SMETA audits by end of 2026. New references in our FY25 statement: Efforts to identify Tier II suppliers Improved Sedex and EcoVadis engagement Use of a new tool for real-time alerts Training for category managers Supplier T&Cs referencing our expectations, in all purchase orders Steps towards a ‘Level 2’ disclosure
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Colleague awareness of human rights risks across the supply chain [‘Prevent it’]
- Area: Tier 1 suppliers (provide their products and services directly to your organisation)
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees
- Mitigation: Training deployed for entire company. Additional training is being developed for colleagues who do site visits as part of customer/supplier reviews.
- Risk: Labour standards among suppliers involved with production of raw materials and components [‘Find it’]
- Area: Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
- Location: China Dominican Republic Turkey
- Mitigation: We’ve communicated requirements for high-spend/key suppliers to complete a third party self-assessment, conduct audits when requested, and engage with corrective actions based on outcomes.
- Risk: Inability to address nonconformances in timely fashion [‘Fix it’]
- Area: Tier 2, Tier 3
- Mitigation: Published escalation process in our Sustainable Procurement Policy. Executive-led governance (Human Rights Committee) maintains accountability for managing noncompliant suppliers.
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.

The supplier link is exact, but the award remains buyer-published procurement data. BritDB requires the GB-COH identifier supplied in the Contracts Finder OCDS release and does not infer suppliers from similar names.

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.
