Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: State Imposed Forced Labour - In China, reported evidence demonstrates presence of links between global supply chains and the use of a workforce forced to work by the State under repressive policies.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees Other vulnerable groups
- Location: China
- Mitigation: We have diverted the purchase of cotton raw material out of China, and are planning on applying the Global Rights Compliance’s Risk Identification Toolkit that will support us with strategies to identify risks of SIFL across business operations in China. This work will help us – from procurement officers to human rights specialists – assess potential exposure to forced labour programmes. The methodology looks beyond the XUAR, recognising that SIFL risks may exist elsewhere in China.
- Risk: Absence of Freedom of Association - The right to FOA, CBA and freedom of expression and the lack of, is directly linked to high prevalence of modern slavery in all its forms.
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees
- Location: Bangladesh China India Cambodia Sri Lanka Morocco Tunisia Turkey
- Mitigation: We are strengthening our policy on FOA and Workers representation and working towards its successful implementation. We are gathering data on of FOA among our suppliers, what is already there in terms of policy and where are the gaps that need to be plugged, through a workers representation mapping exercise, and the application of a risk mapping tool. We are expanding this work on all Export Zones.
- Risk: Distribution Centre - as much of DC workforce employs migrant, temporary and agency workers, we work to identify any potential human rights or labour rights risks.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Group: Women Migrants
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: We work with Anti Slavery International to identify any potential human rights or labour rights risks for workers in our UK warehouse and get understanding of the experiences of workers during recruitment and operations. We apply The ITF Principles for Decent Work in Warehousing, Distribution and LogisticsFundamental Principles And Rights At Work; Safe Jobs; Secure And Decent Jobs; Harassment And Violence-Free World Of Work; Just Transition; FOA; Grievance Mechanisms

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.

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.
