Page 9 on "Preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains requires the engagement of key business sectors where we have determined there is potential risk of human trafficking and forced labor. TheUnited States Department of Labor’s List of Goods Produced with Child Labor or Forced Labor has identified the manufacture of electronics as posing a threat for child and forced labor. Therefore, our programs to minimize the danger of modern slavery and human trafficking primarily focus on Microsoft business units associated with the manufacture of Microsoft devices and hardware used in Microsoft data centers -particularly in high-risk countries where there are potentially vulnerable workers"
