Other monitoring
We conduct third party and supply chain due diligence before commencement and ongoing monitoring throughout the relationship. All supplier contracts contain anti-slavery compliance clauses.
Demonstrated progress
The Bank’s approach to managing modern slavery risks is embedded, subject to regular review, and strengthened where necessary. Each annual statement reaffirms the Bank’s zero‑tolerance stance and reflects ongoing assessment of risk exposure, particularly in higher‑risk areas such as physical commodities and the supply chain. Progress is further evidenced through the annual review and Board approval process, ensuring senior management oversight and accountability.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Physical commodities and trading in physical metals presents a more complex Modern Slavery risk profile.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
- Group: Other vulnerable groups
- Location: Brazil Congo (Democratic Republic) China Indonesia Peru Tanzania
- Mitigation: We acknowledge the inherent risks in trading physical metals and maintain a Responsible Sourcing of Metals Policy which sets out our requirements for responsible practice in sourcing metals. We only deal with legitimate and ethical suppliers that take a responsible approach to sourcing metals. We do not tolerate and will not knowingly do business with, any party who engages in slavery, forced labour, child labour or human trafficking.
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.

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.

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.
