Reported terms and dispute process
  1. Standard payment terms

    The company does not use standard payment terms but has preferred payment terms of 60 days when negotiating qualifying contracts.

  2. Dispute resolution process

    Invoice disputes should be referred, in the first instance, to the individual in the company who was responsible for procuring the goods or services in question. If this cannot be resolved, typically the parties are obliged to escalate the dispute to senior representatives of the parties who shall use their reasonable endeavours to resolve the dispute in good faith.

    Once resolved the invoice will go on the payment run in accordance with payment terms. If resolved after payment due date the invoice will go on the next payment run.

Demonstrated progress

Modern Slavery is a complex risk and often hidden. We use performance indicators to monitor and report on the effectiveness of our policies and procedures in this area. These can be found in our Modern Slavery Act Statement, page 10. As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we will regularly review and report on our progress towards compliance with the Modern Slavery Acts and eradicating modern slavery from our supply chain.

Reported risks and mitigations

  • Risk: We have a number of seasonal workers in higher-risk countries, including a few migrant workers in certain countries.
  • Area: Within your own operations
  • Group: Women Migrants
  • Mitigation: We have undertaken a risk identification and assessment process within our risk committees and sought input from experts to understand our risks and opportunities to combat modern slavery. We are aware that such workers are at increased risk of abuses (such as excessive working hours and withholding of salaries) with reduced access to legal protections. We believe that our on-boarding, training, monitoring and reporting processes adequately mitigate the increased risk to these workers.
  • Risk: We deploy inspectors to ports and terminals around the world to attend the discharge of cargo vessels.
  • Group: Other vulnerable groups
  • Mitigation: We believe that our training of inspectors, our close monitoring of their working time and our technology-enabled scheduling solutions mitigates this risk.
  • Risk: We remain vigilant to the use of modern slavery in higher risk areas such as security, office cleaning and catering services.
  • Area: Within your supply chains
  • Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
  • Group: Women Migrants Refugees
  • Mitigation: We re-enforce our Code of Ethics with our business partners, including contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers, who are required to commit to its principles before we enter into contracts with them. We performance of due diligence on suppliers. Supplier onboarding process includes communication of the expectation to comply with our policies and agreements, including our Modern Slavery Policy, Code of Ethics and Labour and Human Rights Policy.

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

Snapshot 29 September 2026
CCEW

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.

i

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.

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.

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.
