Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: The use of temporary and seasonal labour, particularly through third party labour providers poses a risk of exploitation through excessive recruitment fees, debt bondage, or coercive control.
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers
- Group: Migrants
- Location: Azerbaijan Kazakhstan Tajikistan
- Mitigation: Only using labour providers licensed by the GLAA to ensure compliance. SMETA audit. Engaging with every worker re worker paid recruitment fees. Providing them with access to the Good Work App (own language) Providing them with their employment contract in their 1st language. Maintaining clear channels for workers to report issues safely. Collaborative learning. We are engaging with larger businesses such as Amazon and the GLAA to share best practice and to continually improve.
- Risk: Some workers live in employer-provided or managed accommodation. This can increase the risk of dependency or control if accommodation conditions are poor, overcrowded, or linked to ongoing employment.
- Area: Within your own operations
- Location: United Kingdom
- Mitigation: We ensure worker accommodation promotes independence and wellbeing. Employment is not conditional on housing, and regular inspections confirm compliance with UK safety and hygiene standards. Workers receive their employment contract in their own language and can provide anonymous feedback.
- Risk: Products and materials sourced from outside the UK may carry risks of forced or child labour, particularly in manufacturing or raw material production in countries with weaker labour protection.
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
- Location: Spain Italy Portugal
- Mitigation: We mitigate supply chain risks through vetting and approval of suppliers, identifying whether they hold SEDEX membership or other third-party ethical audit certifications. We prioritise trusted suppliers, and monitor supplier self-assessments and third-party audit results.

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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
11 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.
