Demonstrated progress
Building on our responsible sourcing experience and pilot due diligence, learnings from 2022/23 we have developed 2024/25 assessment roadmap and a due diligence framework. Our proactive due diligence framework prioritises the first set of assessments on 21 supply chains in 21 countries based on risks, screening of strategic business ingredients and this work is done hand in hand with the sourcing business teams and sales business teams to embed sustainability into procurement decisions.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Participated in a joint project in Turkey with fair labour associations, flagship project 'Harvesting the future' which covered the countries rose sector. project seeks to improve human rights.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
- Group: Women Migrants Children
- Mitigation: Continued work with fair labour associations focussing on schooling of children, providing decent wages and education on childrens rights and healthcare. Refurbishment of schools and improvement of sanitation facilities.
- Risk: thorough social assessment of jasmine supply chain at Egypt, non confirmities were raised with our supplier but as follow up not to our standard, we changed supplier.
- Group: Children
- Mitigation: We addressed this matter with the partner involved and alignment with OECD guidelines and UNGP international standards. We proposed to this supplier remediation activities and targetted efforts for an extended period of time. As follow up was not per our standards we decided in August 2023 to stop ordering Jasmine from that supplier in Egypt. We transitioned to a new supplier in Egypt that is committed to abide by our supplier code.
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.
