Policy statement
Unisys Corporation is committed to obtaining parts and supplies from businesses that share our values regarding human rights and ethical practices. To that end, Unisys adheres to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") final conflict minerals rules promulgated under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Conflict Minerals Rules").
Under the Conflict Minerals Rules, publicly-traded companies must report to the SEC the presence of conflict minerals in those products that they manufacture or contract to manufacture when conflict minerals are necessary to the production or functionality of such products and those conflict minerals originate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.
The Conflict Minerals Rules define "conflict minerals" as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold as well as the derivatives of cassiterite, columbite-tantalite and wolframite (these materials collectively referred to as "3TG" metals). While Unisys no longer manufactures or contracts to manufacture products, it is committed to confirming each year that the SEC’s Conflict Minerals Rules do not apply to Unisys. Accordingly, Unisys will not file a Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD unless and until Unisys is subject to the SEC’s Conflict Minerals Rules. In the event Unisys becomes subject again to the SEC’s Conflict Minerals Rules, it will follow the processes and procedures necessary to comply with such rules.
Unisys is also committed to:
- Engaging in comprehensive and documented due diligence of our supply chain to identify and avoid the use of parts and equipment that use or contain those conflict minerals whose production originates in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries, and are linked to the abuse of human rights;
- Utilizing only socially-responsible and ethical suppliers and manufacturers for the supply of parts and equipment to Unisys;
- Complying with applicable SEC Conflict Minerals Rules including, but not limited to, any applicable reporting requirements; and
- Supporting the goal of ending violence and human rights violations in the mining and production of conflict minerals.
