Demonstrated progress
Our statement sets out both progress within 2025, and the steps planned for 2026. Persimmon uses a combination of qualitative and activity-based indicators to monitor effectiveness, recognising that the development of more outcome-based metrics is an area of ongoing focus. Current indicators we monitor include: • completion of relevant training • right-to-work checks compliance • supplier onboarding and due diligence processes • whistleblowing reports • review of concerns identified & response
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Risk of non-compliance by sub-contractors with labour related legislation, which could result in modern slavery affecting our on-site operations.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Group: Migrants
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: We have several training programmes in place for our staff and the sub-contractor workforce, to enable them to understand modern slavery risks and how to report them. Our Group Health, Safety & Environment team perform routine visits to all sites to inspect conditions. We also maintain a whistleblowing line to report concerns. We engage with the Fair Work Agency to ensure key Group functions are aware of evolving trends in this area and can adapt our controls as necessary.
- Risk: A small minority of our construction materials, or components within certain items, may originate from nations with a higher exposure to modern slavery risks, as determined by Global Slavery Index.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
- Mitigation: We have comprehensive supplier due diligence checks through our Group Procurement function, with specific attention on modern slavery risks at both tier one and tier two. We have also introduced a risk based programme of audit visits to tier one supplier facilities.
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.
07 Data protection
ICO fee-payer registration
Persimmon Public Limited Company
Registration Z5249778
- Registered from
- 31 January 2001
- Current end date
- 30 January 2027
- Trading names
- PERSIMMON CITY DEVELOPMENTS, PERSIMMON HOMES, CHARLES CHURCH, CITY DEVELOPMENTS
This is a candidate association, not an official Companies House link. The ICO file supplies no company number. The organisation name and postcode uniquely matched this company in the current snapshot. BritDB excludes all DPO contact fields and does not publish unmatched personal entries.
08 Ownership and control
People with significant control
No PSC entry for this company was present in the imported snapshot.
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.
