Version 1.0. Approved and issued by the Director on 12 August 2026. Reviewed at least annually.
Planned Limited provides planning, scheduling, programme assurance and project controls consultancy to construction and infrastructure clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. This statement sets out our commitment to respecting human rights, how we identify and act on human rights risk, and how anyone can raise a concern with us.
We publish it voluntarily. We are a micro enterprise and no statute requires it of us. We publish it because we work on major infrastructure programmes alongside organisations that are required to conduct human rights due diligence across their supply chains, and they are entitled to know where we stand.
Planned Limited is committed to respecting internationally recognised human rights in all of its operations and business relationships. We take our reference points from:
We comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the Equality Act 2010, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage legislation, the Working Time Regulations 1998, the Bribery Act 2010 and the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Where national law and international human rights standards conflict, we seek to honour the principles of the international standards.
This statement applies to the company, its director, any employee, and any sub-consultant or associate engaged by the company. We expect the same standards of the suppliers and sub-consultants we engage, and we set them out at the point of engagement.
The Director, Akingbenga Akindele Ibiyode, holds governance oversight of human rights matters. As the sole director of a company with one employee, that responsibility sits at board level and is not delegated. He is accountable for this statement, for the risk analysis described below, for any remediation, and for the annual review.
We carry out a documented human rights risk analysis. It covers our own operations, the services and projects we deliver, and our direct supply chain, meaning the parties we contract with directly. We do not have subsidiaries or affiliated companies, and we have limited visibility below the first tier of our supply chain, which we state openly rather than imply otherwise.
The analysis considers potential impacts on our own personnel, on the workers of the parties we contract with, and on our clients and business partners. It draws on internal records, discussion with our business partners, and documentary review of the standards and requirements applying to the sectors we work in.
We assess both impacts we could cause directly and impacts we could be associated with indirectly. We prioritise what we find by the severity of the potential impact, by the nature and extent of our business activities, and by our actual ability to influence the party responsible. A micro consultancy has real influence over its own conduct and very little over a tier three supplier, and we do not pretend otherwise.
The analysis is reviewed at least annually, and additionally whenever we enter a new business area, take on a materially different type of project, or become aware of a significant change in the risk picture.
Our work is office based analytical and advisory work, delivered remotely, with occasional attendance at client offices and construction sites. We manufacture nothing, we extract nothing, we source no minerals or raw materials, and we operate no facilities other than our registered office. Our salient human rights risks are therefore:
We have not identified any salient risk relating to child labour in our own operations, land rights, the use of security forces, mercury, persistent organic pollutants or hazardous waste, because none of these arise in the services we provide.
We maintain and apply a Health and Safety Policy that requires site induction, compliance with the rules of every site we attend, appropriate personal protective equipment, and confirmation that any sub-consultant we engage for site based work holds their own health and safety arrangements. Every accident, incident and near miss is recorded and investigated. To date there have been none.
We publish a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement and review it annually.
We pay anyone we engage at or above the real Living Wage, we pay them in full and on time, and we do not charge or permit any recruitment fee to be charged to any worker.
We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment on any ground, and we make engagement, progression and pay decisions on merit alone.
We maintain a Data Protection and Information Security Policy, we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, and we hold Cyber Essentials certification covering the whole organisation.
Where our programme advice could reasonably affect the health and safety of the people carrying out the work, in particular where a sequence, duration or acceleration would create risk, we raise it in writing with the client. We do not recommend a programme we believe cannot be built safely. This is the point at which a planning consultancy has the most real human rights leverage, and we use it.
Anyone can raise a human rights concern with Planned Limited. This channel is open to our own personnel, to the workers of any organisation in our supply chain, to our clients and business partners, and to anyone outside our supply chain who believes they have been affected by our operations or by a business relationship of ours.
Concerns may be raised:
Concerns may be raised anonymously. We will acknowledge a concern within five working days, investigate it, and tell the person who raised it what we found and what we did, unless they raised it anonymously and left no means of reply. We do not retaliate against anyone who raises a concern in good faith, and we will not treat the raising of a concern as a reason to end or alter a business relationship.
Where the concern involves conduct by another organisation and we do not have the standing to resolve it, we will say so and help route it to a body that does. Independent routes that do not involve us at all include the Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline on 08000 121 700, the Health and Safety Executive, Acas on 0300 123 1100, and the whistleblowing charity Protect on 020 3117 2520.
We have designed this channel to be usable, which for a company of our size means plain English, more than one route in, no form to complete, and a named person at the other end.
Where we find that we have caused or contributed to an adverse human rights impact, the Director investigates, we contact the affected party directly, we remedy the cause, and we change the policy or process that allowed it so that it does not recur. Where we are linked to an impact caused by another party, we use what leverage we have with that party to seek a remedy.
The Director reviews the effectiveness of these measures at least once a year, looking at the implementation of this statement, the accident and incident record, and any concern raised. Where a measure is not working, we change it and reissue this statement with a new version number.
Records of the risk analysis, of preventive and remedial measures, and of concerns received are retained for six years.
This statement was approved by the board of Planned Limited on 12 August 2026 and is signed on its behalf by the sole director. It will be reviewed and republished at least annually.
