Viasat legal statements

Viasat Inc. is committed to ensuring that its supply chain represents its values and respect for human rights.  为此，我们的《菲律宾bg视讯官网》规定:

Viasat的供应商关系是基于合法、有效和公平的做法. We expect our suppliers to obey the laws that require them to treat workers fairly and provide a safe and healthy work environment.  Viasat不会故意使用任何使用强迫、监狱或契约劳工的供应商.  Viasat will only work with suppliers who comply with all laws regarding slavery and human trafficking in the countries in which the suppliers are doing business.   

Viasat implements this policy by obligating its suppliers to certify that they are compliant with these concepts.  Further, Viasat在合同中要求其供应商“不得使用强迫手段”, prison, or indentured labor, or subject workers to any form of compulsion or coercion” and to “comply with all laws regarding slavery and human trafficking in the countries in which Seller is doing business.“Viasat的供应商也有义务将这些要求传递给他们的供应商. Key personnel in Viasat’s procurement department receive training on how to identify human trafficking and forced labor issues.  虽然Viasat没有正式的审计程序, 这些人员接受过识别健康的培训, safety, and labor red flags, 包括与强迫劳动有关的危险信号, 并报告和调查所有对不当行为的怀疑.    未能满足上述合同要求的供应商将被终止合同.   Employees who violate Viasat’s Guide to Business Conduct are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

Viasat condemns the ongoing conflict and resulting humanitarian harm in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 这在一定程度上是由矿石贸易的融资推动的, 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, 它们可以被称为“来自冲突矿山的冲突矿物”.”

冲突矿物是珠宝等产品的常见成分, toys, and lightbulbs to airplanes, vehicle airbag systems, 以及电子和计算机部件. Because the minerals in these products typically enter supply chains many layers removed from companies like Viasat, 很难确定他们是否支持武装冲突. At the same time, millions of Congolese workers rely on artisanal mining or work in legitimate mines to support a subsistence living. Avoiding purchase of all conflict minerals from the DRC region would cause severe hardship for them and their dependents.

促进基本人权事业的发展, Viasat is committed to work toward eliminating from our products conflict minerals that support armed groups in the DRC or in the surrounding countries, while minimizing unintended consequences for legitimate subsistence miners and their dependents. Viasat will:

• 继续努力消除, over time, 我们产品中所有来自冲突矿场的冲突矿物, and endeavor to improve, year-over-year, 我们在供应链中追踪冲突矿产的能力, report on their origin, 并消除那些源自冲突地雷的地雷.
• Comply with the requirements of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, 这就要求企业对钽的产地进行调查, tin, tungsten and gold in their supply chains and report on the reasonable inquiry or due diligence they conduct to determine whether their purchase supported armed groups in the DRC.

Viasat期望其供应商合理地保证锡, tantalum, tungsten, 他们生产的产品中的黄金是无冲突的. If Viasat becomes aware of a supplier whose supply chain includes conflict minerals from conflict mines, Viasat将采取适当措施及时纠正这种情况, 包括对供应商关系的重新评估. Viasat expects our suppliers to take similar measures with their suppliers to ensure alignment throughout the supply chain.
