Demonstrated progress
We recognise that turbulent times such as these increase cost pressures on suppliers, and so increase the risk of human rights abuses, including modern slavery. Despite this, we have seen no adverse effects of the current environment in respect of modern slavery, and we have continued to work effectively with suppliers to implement measures to support them to ensure we all operate in a way which continues to champion worker’s rights and prevent their exploitation
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: RAC operates in an industry where the risk of slavery and human trafficking is relatively low.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Don't know
- Group: Women
- Location: China
- Mitigation: As identified in the Global Slavery Index, RAC operates in an industry and jurisdiction where the risks of slavery and human trafficking are relatively low. Nevertheless, we acknowledge we are not immune from the risks of slavery and human trafficking and have a responsibility to be alert to any risk. We therefore ensure we are continually assessing these risks and mitigating against their occurrence through our supplier onboarding processes as well as our standard contractual requirements.
- Risk: We have begun to map our supply chain, to increase our understanding of businesses with which we work, and to understand how their supply chains operate in turn.
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
- Mitigation: We have begun to map our supply chain, to increase our understanding of businesses with which we work, and to understand how their supply chains operate in turn. We are currently focussing on our highest risk and business critical suppliers at present and will continue working through our remaining suppliers in future years. While at an early stage of roll out, this exercise has identified no key risks and no incidences of human slavery in our supply chain.
- Risk: We have strengthened governance in respect of our supply chain by the introduction of an enhanced Modern Slavery Due Diligence questionnaire for suppliers in higher risk industries or areas
- Mitigation: We have strengthened governance in respect of our supply chain by the introduction of an enhanced Modern Slavery Due Diligence questionnaire which is utilised when considering contracting with suppliers who act in higher risk industries or areas. This has enabled us to better assess the risk of Modern Slavery entering our supply chain from the outset. Again, no notable risks have so far been identified.

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
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.
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.
