About the data

Formula logic:

If the company:

  • provides a homepage link to their modern slavery statement (any year), and
  • the statement has been explicitly approved by the board of directors, and
  • the statement has been signed by the appropriate person (CEO, Director, Managing Director, or Chairman)

Then "Yes" they did meet the minimum requirements of the UK MSA. 

If they did not meet one or multiple of the criteria listed above, then "No" they did not meet the minimum requirements of the UK MSA.

c6 = isKnown(statement) && (statement.includes "Yes - Australian Modern Slavery Act")
c7 = isKnown(statement) && (statement.includes "Yes - California Transparency in Supply Chains Act")
