Statement on Conflict Minerals
Viasat谴责刚果民主共和国持续的冲突和由此造成的人道主义伤害, which is fueled in part by financing from trade in the ores from which 锡, 钽, 钨, 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, 玩具, 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进入供应链,从Viasat这样的公司剥离了许多层, it is difficult to determine whether they support armed conflict. At the same time, 数以百万计的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物将给他们及其家属带来严重的困难.
To promote the advancement of fundamental human rights, Viasat致力于从钱柜qg111官网的产品中消除支持刚果民主共和国或周边国家武装组织的冲突矿物, 同时尽量减少合法维持生计的矿工及其家属的意外后果. 钱柜qg111官网将:
- Con锡ue to work toward the elimination, 随着时间的推移, of all conflict minerals from conflict mines in our products, and endeavor to improve, 较上年同期, our ability to track conflict minerals in our supply chain, report on their origin, and eliminate those that originate in conflict mines.
- 遵守《钱柜qg111官网》第1502条的要求, which requires companies to inquire into the origin of 钽, 锡, 报告他们进行的合理调查或尽职调查,以确定他们的采购是否支持刚果民主共和国的武装组织.
Viasat expects its suppliers to reasonably assure that the 锡, 钽, 钨, and gold in the products they manufacture are conflict free. 如果Viasat意识到某个供应商的供应链包括来自冲突矿的冲突矿物, Viasat will take the appropriate actions to remedy the situation in a timely manner, including reassessment of supplier relationships. Viasat希望钱柜qg111官网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.
