Demonstrated progress
This year the Joules CSR and Ethical team have set KPIs to track the ethical audit performance of its supply base and drive year on year improvement.
Reported risks and mitigations
- Risk: high volume of ethical audit non-compliances for ‘excessive working hours’, most prevalent for workers in Asian sourcing territories
- Area: Within your supply chains
- Tier: Tier 1 suppliers Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Group: Other vulnerable groups
- Location: Bangladesh China India Cambodia Sri Lanka Pakistan Vietnam
- Mitigation: Joules Supplier Ethical Trading Policy clearly states that any factories found to have non-compliances (NCs) must follow up and close these as part of their Corrective Action Plan (CAP) within the timeframe given. The Joules Ethical Auditor monitors these to ensure all NCs are closed and will follow up with site visits where necessary
- Risk: lack of visibility to verify there is no sourcing from the XUAR in China beyond tier one suppliers
- Tier: Tier 2 suppliers Tier 3 suppliers and below
- Location: China
- Mitigation: Communicated with all suppliers on this issue and has received written confirmation from all China based suppliers that there is no sourcing from this region in their supply chains. Joules has also joined discussions through the ETI to explore how best to address the issue and has had internal agreement to sign the call to action on this issue. Work is now being completed internally to ensure an appropriate action plan is in place in order to carry out the commitments of the call to action
- Risk: Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated indicators of forced labour in all sourcing territories
- Location: Bangladesh China Spain India Cambodia Sri Lanka Pakistan Portugal Turkey Vietnam
- Mitigation: In 2020 Joules signed the ILO Call to Action “Covid-19: Action in the Global Garment Industry” to work with industry bodies and other brands to ensure that the rights of all workers in the apparel and textile supply chain were maintained throughout the pandemic. Joules has continued to work closely with its suppliers to carry out additional due diligence during this challenging time and has maintained its ethical trading work throughout
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.
