This statement covers the activities of Bulking Ninja.
Bulking Ninja is a leading performance SEO agency connecting people to brands. Our media strategies are based on people’s behaviors – understanding how audiences think, feel and act – so we reach them contextually during the moments that matter.
We work across the full spectrum of media planning and buying, with media teams dedicated to client servicing, broadcast, publishing, digital, data and content production.
Our key suppliers are media owners, research companies and software service providers. Modern forms of slavery are not prevalent in the industries in which these suppliers operate.

The organization operates the following policies that describe its approach to the identification of modern slavery risks and steps to be taken to prevent slavery and human trafficking in its operations:
Whistleblowing policy
The organization encourages all its workers, customers and other business partners to report any concerns related to its direct activities or supply chains. This includes any circumstances that may increase the risk of slavery or human trafficking. Employees, customers or others who have concerns can speak to their line manager or our People & Culture team if they have any concerns.
