p.1 Company definition of modern slavery encompasses forced labour and child labour: " 'Modern Slavery' is the use of slavery, servitude and forced, compulsory, trafficked or child labour."

"At Bulb, our approach to managing and mitigating the risks associated with modern slavery are governed by our Modern Slavery Policy. This policy describes how we assess our operations and supply chain for potential risks relating to modern slavery and human trafficking.

We expect all our suppliers to do business in a fair and ethical way.

We assess whether all potential suppliers comply with all applicable international and local laws when performing their services, including but not limited to all labour laws. This year, we have added a specific question in our supplier selection criteria that assesses compliance with the Modern Slavery Act. Where the supplier is not directly affected by the Modern Slavery Act, we require a description of the steps taken by the organisation to ensure modern slavery is not taking place across their business or relevant supply chain(s). Once we have selected a supplier, we then require that they are compliant with applicable laws and standards. This year, we defined our minimum contracting terms that suppliers must review and confirm that they meet prior to formal contracting. These terms include compliance with applicable laws and standards (including internationally-recognised human rights and labour standards and anti-slavery laws) and paying a living wage."

Company does not specifically state that the contracting terms include clauses on forced labour (they just say 'anti-slavery laws')

p. 1 "'Modern Slavery' is the use of slavery, servitude and forced, compulsory, trafficked or child labour. It has no place in our business. And our internal policies ensure we only work with suppliers and subsidiaries that feel the same."
