Other monitoring
We use the Sedex risk assessment tools (inherent risk factors,management scores and forced labour indicators) to monitoring and prioritize audit work with our suppliers and manufacturers.
Demonstrated progress
We saw our supplier participation to Sedex rise by 15% yoy. To support transparency efforts and prioritise audits on a risk assessment basis, we spend time working closely with our manufacturers to encourage 100% completion and up-date of their self-audit questionnaires on the platform. The number of supplier with complete SAQ increased from 59% to 84% between July 2024 and 2025. The number of suppliers with an audit in place also increased from 48% to 65% in the same period.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Temporary labour engaged through labour providers is the higher risk area for human right breaches in our internal operations.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Group: Migrants Other vulnerable groups
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: Our manufacturing facility (Kent) only uses labour providers licensed with the GLAA. Every year, our HR team ensures that those licenses are valid for all labour providers. We perform ad-hoc and unannounced controls throughout the year (right to work, contracts and payslip evidence in line with working hours we record) with all providers. Their policies and records were also audited by a 3rd party auditor this year.
- Risk: Forced labour risks are higher for our raw material sourcing from China and India, especially with regards to excessive working hours and bonded labour. This is the primary risk in our supply chain.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Location: China India
- Mitigation: As part of doing business with us, suppliers and manufacturers of ingredients must become members of Sedex, complete their SAQ and provide visibility over their operations. We use the Sedex platform to manage risks within our 1st tier suppliers and identify potential non-conformances. This has been the primary focus of our modern slavery initiatives in this reporting period. Forced Labour Indicators allow us to prioritise on-site audits. We cannot engage at tier 2 and 3 levels at the present.
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.

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.
