EDF mentions it's UK operations, and that it awards contracts to UK registered companies, but I am not sure if this fully meets the "geography" indicator here as not clear that this is referring to the supply chain, as opposed to the output.

In essence the company is saying here that they prefer to work with UK companies, but they are not actually telling us where (in what countries/regions) their supply chain sits. I would think it highly unlikely they do not source anything from outside of the UK. Therefore I would say this is not sufficient to meet the "Geographical" label.

Geographical region: "EDF is currently the UK’s largest generator of low carbon

electricity which we support with our Powering Net Zero

company ambitions"(1). It is mentioned here that they operate in the UK.

There is mention of the standards EDF holds for their supply chain, but they do not name specific suppliers.

"We contract with suppliers to ensure that we have the goods

and services needed to generate and supply electricity, gas

and energy services to our customers"(1).

"Where appropriate, we award contracts to companies registered in the UK. This means that our suppliers are likely to match EDF’s levels of transparency in relation to UK employment law and the Modern Slavery Act"
