Page 2 under the heading "Our Supply Chain"

 

"Western Digital’s unique products and services require a similarly unique network of suppliers. We have approximately 250 direct material suppliers across 20 countries in Asia Pacific, Europe, the United States, and the rest of the world. We

understand that a proactive partnership with our suppliers strengthens our relationships, improves their performance, and

ensures that critical policies are enforced throughout our supply chain".

Subsequently found at the top of page 3 that Western Digital has

 

"identified Malaysia, Thailand and China as particularly susceptible to labor issues, so we closely monitor those locations. Similarly, we have worked with our supply chain to map their labor sources, and we give suppliers located in Malaysia and Thailand enhanced attention and scrutiny based on the common use of foreign workers in those countries."

I changed the answer to "Geographic" as some countries where the supply chain is located are identified
