Demonstrated progress
We have the following ways to monitor progress e.g.: Calls to Currys and our distribution franchise whistleblowing line. Incidences of modern slavery at Currys or in our supply chain. Own label and licensed brand audits. EcoVadis assessments and average labour and human rights scores We also set goals e.g.: Refresh our training modules Complete a SFA Gap Analysis Review our recruitment partners Work with own label and licensed brand suppliers to increase average EcoVadis score from 38 to 45
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Human rights concerns in our supply chain. In particular of workers in first tier our own brand factories in China and Turkey. High working hours in China is also a risk.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
- Group: Migrants Children
- Location: China Turkey
- Mitigation: We set suppliers targets for continuous improvement to reduce working hours and review corrective action plans and re-auditing where needed. We engage with RBA, BRC & TechUK to gain expertise and discuss experiences with others. All tier 1 suppliers are risk assessed and our own label and licensed brands are audited before being contracted and then throughout the trading relationship by our in-house and specialist independent auditors.
- Risk: Goods not for resale suppliers. In particular cleaning and security, waste management and recycling, construction, spare parts and repairs, logistics and recruitment agencies.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Group: Migrants
- Location: Denmark Finland United Kingdom Ireland Norway Sweden
- Mitigation: Suppliers in higher risk industries are subject to our worker’s rights survey at on-boarding and we use our collaboration with the Slave Free Alliance to more thoroughly assess these suppliers at regular intervals
- Risk: Raw materials and conflict minerals. In particular human rights abuses and funding of armed conflict associated with the mining of tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold in regions like the DRC.
- Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Women Migrants Children
- Location: Congo (Democratic Republic)
- Mitigation: We use the Material Insights Platform to understand the risks associated with our industry including their component profiles for batteries and printed circuit boards, giving us greater insight into the supply chain stages, composition and ESG issues of these technologies. Shared updated conflict minerals policy with own label suppliers with a survey on their sourcing practices. Majority of our top 20 goods for resale suppliers for UK & Ireland and Nordics comply with RMI.

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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
