Demonstrated progress
We've developed a set of key performance indicators to monitor performance of OVO's modern slavery risk management initiatives. The indicators include: Key Tier 1 suppliers (Top 50 spend) aligned with our Supplier Code of Conduct; Applicable procurement led engagements that have a completed risk assessment; Number of modern slavery cases reported; Number of people in procurement roles that have completed training on modern slavery and sustainable procurement
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: Workers in the upward supply chain of electrical equipment
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Women Migrants Refugees Children
- Location: Congo
- Mitigation: OVO has a sustainable procurement process which new suppliers go through (if applicable) to assess and manage the risk of modern slavery. This is done through a questionnaire issued to the top suppliers and suppliers that operate in OVO’s highest risk goods and service categories or regions. OVO also requires new suppliers to sign up to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines the minimum standards suppliers are expected to uphold, including with respect to human rights and modern slavery.

- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers
- Location: South Africa
- Mitigation: OVO has a sustainable procurement approach for new suppliers to assess and manage the risk of modern slavery. This is done through a questionnaire issued to the top suppliers and suppliers that operate in OVO’s highest risk goods and service categories or regions. The supplier contract contains express obligations on the supplier to pay a fair wage, employ over 18s and comply with modern slavery legislation. Our counter party is a large UK based organisation.
- Risk: Workers in outsourced operations in high risk industries
- Location: Congo (Democratic Republic) China
- Mitigation: OVO has a sustainable procurement approach for new suppliers to assess and manage the risk of modern slavery. This is done through a questionnaire issued to the top suppliers and suppliers that operate in OVO’s highest risk goods and service categories or regions. OVO also engages with suppliers who have flagged potential risks in their supply chain to understand what mitigating actions they're taking. Suppliers sign our Supplier Code of Conduct which includes modern slavery legislation.
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.
06 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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
10 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.
