Conflict Mineral Policy
VID ONE is alert of the increasing concern of the exploitation and serious human rights abuses associated with the extraction, transportation and trade of certain minerals originating from “covered countries” such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries that are helping to finance armed conflict characterized by extreme levels of violence. VID ONE has identified Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and Gold commonly referred to as “conflict minerals” originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
VID ONE is dedicated towards its corporate responsibility, respecting human rights in its own operations and in the supply chain it deals with. In order to do so, VID ONE shall comply with rules and regulations of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act sanctioned by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and due diligence guidance for responsible sourcing of minerals, if required. However, VID ONE shall not willingly partake in sourcing minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. By doing so, VID ONE will seek to identify, reduce and ultimately eliminate the use of conflict minerals in its streamline, if there are any, and that may directly or indirectly benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries.
In order to aid our compliance:
- VID ONE shall carry out due diligence and work with their own upstream suppliers and supply chain to determine and trace back the source and chain of any products containing conflict minerals supplied to VID ONE.
- Auditing shall be performed by our internal audit team, to determine the robustness of our internal control processes which may also apply to outsourcing.
- VID ONE expects its suppliers to adopt policies with respect to conflict minerals consistent with its stance and also communicate their own policies and expectations down to their own sub suppliers.
- VID ONE believes in establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with suppliers whenever possible. However, if VID ONE determines that any supplier is, or a reasonable risk exists that it may be, violating this Policy, then VID ONE will require the supplier to commit to devise and undertake suitable corrective action to move to a conflict free source. If suitable action is not taken, VID ONE shall look for alternative sources for the product.
- VID ONE shall ensure that the above mentioned shall also reflect on their purchase orders for the suppliers to take consideration of and deliver any purchased minerals as per our requirements. Once the goods are delivered at VID ONE premises, an RI inspection shall be conducted to determine its source.
