Statement on Conflict Minerals
维萨特谴责刚果民主共和国境内持续的冲突及其造成的人道主义损害, which is fueled in part by financing from trade in the ores from which tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold are derived. These elements have come to be known as “conflict minerals”; when they originate in mines operated or taxed by the warring factions, they can be referred to as “conflict minerals from conflict mines.”
Conflict minerals are common constituents of products ranging from jewelry, toys, and lightbulbs to airplanes, vehicle airbag systems, and electronic and computer parts. 因为这些产品中的矿物质通常会进入像Viasat这样的公司的供应链, it is difficult to determine whether they support armed conflict. At the same time, 数百万刚果工人依靠手工采矿或在合法矿山工作来维持生计. 避免从刚果民主共和国地区购买所有冲突矿产将给他们及其家属造成严重困难.
To promote the advancement of fundamental human rights, Viasat致力于从我们的产品中消除支持刚果民主共和国或周边国家武装团体的冲突矿物, while minimizing unintended consequences for legitimate subsistence miners and their dependents. Viasat will:
- Continue to work toward the elimination, over time, of all conflict minerals from conflict mines in our products, and endeavor to improve, year-over-year, our ability to track conflict minerals in our supply chain, report on their origin, and eliminate those that originate in conflict mines.
- 遵守2010年多德-弗兰克华尔街改革和消费者保护法案第1502节的要求, which requires companies to inquire into the origin of tantalum, tin, 供应链中的钨和黄金,并报告他们为确定其采购是否支持刚果民主共和国的武装团体而进行的合理调查或尽职调查.
Viasat expects its suppliers to reasonably assure that the tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold in the products they manufacture are conflict free. 如果Viasat意识到供应商的供应链中包含来自冲突矿山的冲突矿物, Viasat will take the appropriate actions to remedy the situation in a timely manner, including reassessment of supplier relationships. Viasat希望我们的供应商与他们的供应商采取类似的措施,以确保整个供应链的一致性.
