"This statement is made by and on behalf of EDF Energy Ltd,
its parent company, EDF Energy Holdings Limited, and its
subsidiaries, which make up the EDF in the UK as a whole
(together, in this statement, referred to as EDF). Those
subsidiaries of EDF Energy Holdings Limited that are required
to make their own statement under the Modern Slavery
Act 2015, together with both NNB Holding Company (HPC)
Limited and NNB Holding Company (SZC) Limited, have
adopted this statement"(1).
"We report our sustainability performance annually through
our Helping Britain Achieve Net Zero, and are signatories
to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). We strive
to improve our standards of ethical behaviour continuously,
and our commitment to ethical business practice is outlined
in our Ethics & Business Conduct Policy"(1).
"Our Codes of Conduct reminds our people that we are a
company that acts honestly and ethically"(1).
"We encourage our supply chain to drive positive social
and environmental change. We include Modern Slavery
obligations within our standard precedent contracts and
assess supplier standards at all parts of the procurement
lifecycle from specification through procurement and into
contract delivery.
Many suppliers, including those we identify as ‘Tier One
Suppliers’ (covering approximately 40% of our supply chain
expenditure) are subject to additional reviews which include
topics designed to identify the risks of Modern Slavery"(1).
The company’s statement details some specific, organizational policies and actions to combat slavery in their supply chain. Suppliers comply with laws and company’s policies as see on page 1,
'We encourage our supply chain to drive positive social and environmental change. We include Modern Slavery obligations within our standard precedent contracts and assess supplier standards at all parts of the procurement
lifecycle from specification through procurement and into contract delivery. Many suppliers, including those we identify as ‘Tier One Suppliers’ (covering approximately 40% of our supply chain expenditure) are subject to additional reviews which include topics designed to identify the risks of Modern Slavery"(1). This quote shows suppliers comply with laws and company’s policies directly, but also due to the completion of additional reviews it also is beyond. The statement includes supplier codes that include clauses on slavery and human trafficking. This is seen on page 1, "Our supply chain due diligence processes include defined and monitored onboarding and qualification processes of all new suppliers. These processes serve to identify any potential risks relating to slavery and human trafficking, and we carry out thorough risk assessments to identify areas of focus in relation to Modern Slavery concerns"(1). This quote shows direct and beyond tier 1 because EDF carries out risk assessments and monitored onboarding.
The following statement covers "Contracts include clauses on forced labour", but no other options are explicitly covered
p.2 "We include Modern Slavery obligations within our standard precedent contracts and assess supplier standards at all parts of the procurement lifecycle from specification through procurement and into contract delivery."
