20、 112 113Combatting Forced Labor in Our Supply ChainImpact Report 2023Our Process:Impact Report 2023 Supply Chain Combatting Forced Labor in Our Supply Chain Forced labor is a complex issue that affects supply chains in all industries and regions and requires both global and targeted local responses.
21、In 2023,we committed more human and legal resources to combat forced labor risk in our supply chain.Our efforts are informed by International Labor Organization(ILO)guidance,including principles to cease harm and provide remedy,and regulatory frameworks relevant to our global operations.Our Process:
22、CD Require suppliers to acknowledge our Supplier Code of Conduct at onboarding,which includes forced labor provisions,and make commitments to avoid forced labor in supplier contracts Prioritize mapping high-risk supply chains to raw materials 0 Screen our partners using a combination of resources,in
23、cluding reputable third-party tools and experts,including legal advisors Conduct audits that assess the following indicators:Supplier sites where working hours exceed the 60-hour weekly threshold Share of foreign migrant workers Supplier sites with dispatch/contract workers Worker accommodation Use

38、actions,resulting in the immediate return of all 10 workers passports to enable freedom of movement,a company-wide investigation to understand root causes of fees paid by workers,fee repayment,an end to involuntary wage deduction and management and employee trainings.The case highlighted the importa
39、nce of continually engaging and collaborating with suppliers to foster a culture of accountability.0 Aluminum We continue to comprehensively map our aluminum supply chain in more detail-with thorough coverage of all manufacturers,traders,transportation providers and other key entities-and completed
40、chain of custody exercises to work toward full material traceability.For example,in one supply line,we were able to map completely upstream and determine that two mines in that supply chain are certified by the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative(ASI)Certification Performance Standard,which includes cri
41、teria on forced labor,with one mine also certified by the ASI Chain of Custody Standard,which evaluates a suppliers traceability management systems-ultimately enabling the assessment of forced labor risk in the most upstream part of this supply chain.116 117New Levels of Transparency for Child Labor

43、rent cathode chemistries.Our nickel-based cathodes(NMC and NCA)contain cobalt,but others,like our iron-based cathodes(LFP),do not.While our nickel-based cathodes will continue to need cobalt,they contain less cobalt than similar cathode chemistries in the industry,and we are increasing our use of co
44、balt-free iron-based batteries,particularly for energy storage and standard range products.By mapping our supply chain,we know where our cobalt comes from-and we only purchase cobalt from large-scale mines.Our direct suppliers undergo third-party audits to ensure no child labor happens at these mine
45、s and no material from unauthorized sources enters our supply chain.Four audits were conducted in 2023*and found no instances of child labor at our direct suppliers sites.Our suppliers took action on all the social performance findings of the audits and either completed the corrective action plan or
46、 have a detailed plan in progress.In addition,we worked with our supplier Glencore to launch a publicly available satellite monitoring system of its Kamoto Copper Company(KCC)operation located in the DRC.High-resolution images are updated monthly and allow for anyone to see what the operations look
47、like down to 0.5 meters of resolution,thus providing a good picture of what is happening at the mine.Users can also compare these images with images of artisanal operations,which are typically at higher risk of child labor,to identify differences in production methods.This is the first time this lev

96、ort 2023 Supply Chain Aluminum:Pushing for the Industry to Respect Rights and Lower Emissions We prioritize aluminum because of the high prevalence of human rights and environmental impacts across the aluminum supply chain-including bauxite mining and the carbon emissions linked to aluminum refining
97、 and smelting.We buy aluminum in the form of sheet,ingot,castings,extrusions,forgings and foil.It shows up in many systems in the car-from Teslas body Gigacastings to the batteries.Most of our aluminum is alloyed-meaning it is mixed with other elements to optimize engineering properties.The rising t
98、otal demand for aluminum means that increased recycling is not enough to reach a truly sustainable aluminum sector.Therefore,we engage with producers of both recycled and primary material.Direct Sourcing and Supply Chain Mapping We source much of the aluminum used in our vehicles directly from smelt
99、ers/secondary aluminum producers-sending the material to Tesla plants or to our Tier 1 suppliers.This,combined with our efforts of mapping upstream material sources where we dont directly source the raw material,enables increased visibility and ability to conduct due diligence.8 In 2024,Tesla commit
100、ted to the ASI for our aluminum foundry in Lathrop,CA Certification As a pre-requisite for being awarded new business,Tesla continues to ask its suppliers to certify to the Aluminium Stewardship Initiatives(ASI)Performance Standard.As of the first quarter of 2024,92%of Cybertruck aluminum suppliers
101、are certified or working towards this certification.Over 80%of all aluminum Tier 1 suppliers are similarly certified or working towards this certification.ASI is one of the key industry organizations developing credible decarbonization roadmaps for the aluminum industry.We appreciate that no certifi
102、cation replaces due diligence.We continue to work with ASI,suppliers,and stakeholders to address and reduce risks in our aluminum supply chain in recognition of its outsized impact.Confirmed Upstream Supplier Locations Bauxite Mining:Australia,China,Guinea,Iceland,Indonesia,Solomon Islands*Smelting:
103、Australia,Canada,China,Germany,Norway,Malaysia,UAE,U.S.*The purchase of bauxite from the Solomon Islands occurred before 2020.We include it in this list for transparency,but our strategy is to not further procure bauxite from the Solomon Islands.Other Risk Mitigation Efforts In 2023,we directly enga

127、n,mining operations can cause a range of potential adverse impacts,for example related to health and safety and the environment.Tesla believes that accelerating the worlds transition to sustainable energy should not cause additional harm.The Democratic Republic of the Congo(DRC),a country of particu
128、lar relevance to the mineral trade,has been in conflict for almost three decades,sustained through the trade of minerals.Too often the minerals leave the country but dont come back-a one way street.In acknowledging the consequences of mining operations,we initiated our Tesla Tech for Good product do
129、nation project,aimed at mitigating adverse human rights impacts of mining while simultaneously driving GHG reductions.During a 2022 trip to East Africa,Tesla pursued opportunities to apply our technology to mitigate adverse impacts of supply chain operations,provide remedy for harm caused,and maximi
130、ze positive impact for people and the planet.We met with Panzi Hospital&Foundation,a center of excellence in the DRC that provides holistic treatment for survivors of sexual violence-a tactic used by armed actors to perpetuate conflict,gain greater access to resources and control smuggling routes.Pa
131、nzi has touched the lives of more than 80,000 survivors of sexual violence,including those affected by wartime,and another 25,000 women with serious gynecological injuries.In collaboration with Panzi and based on their renewable energy strategy,in early 2024 Tesla donated ten Powerwalls and hardware
132、 accessories to be installed at one of Panzis clinics in the DRC.Tesla and Panzi share the belief that everyone should have access to sustainable,modern,and clean energy to meet their decarbonization goals and address energy insecurity-especially those who are providing life-saving healthcare.131 Th
133、e Powerwalls will enable Panzi to work even in times of energy loss and avoid costs associated with running diesel-fuel generators.In recognition that many social impact initiatives fail to provide long-term solutions,to support sustaining impact of the project,we have committed to fund maintenance
134、costs on the equipment for the next ten years.Tesla continues to seek opportunities to collaborate with organizations close to mining communities to find transformative solutions and address harm associated with supply chain activities.A sustainable future is one in which the rights of everyone are
135、respected and included in a just energy transition.132Proactive Supplier Engagement&Risk AnalysisImpact Report 2023Global StandardResponsible Sourcing TeamsRisk-Based ApproachSupplier Selection GuidelinesImpact Report 2023 Supply Chain Proactive Supplier Engagement&Risk Analysis Global Standard In a
136、lignment with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD)Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct,risk analysis and identification is a foundational pillar of Teslas Responsible Sourcing framework to understand human rights and environment-related risks and violat
137、ions in its supply chain.Responsible Sourcing Teams Teslas Responsible Sourcing teams lead risk analysis efforts globally across all sourcing scopes while developing and implementing fit-for-purpose plans to prevent or mitigate actual or potential adverse impacts.Teams are strategically embedded wit
138、hin the supply chain organization,ensuring that environmental and social impacts of our suppliers are monitored and addressed in collaboration with supply chain leadership and buyers directly responsible for sourcing parts,materials and services along with managing supplier relationships and perform
139、ance.Collaboration with legal and compliance teams ensures cross-functional alignment.This overall structure encourages a proactive approach to identify and act on both supply chain risks and opportunities to have a positive impact globally as our operational footprint grows.Risk-Based Approach Tesl

141、oach that informs when and where to allocate additional resources to prevent,mitigate and report adverse impacts on people,the environment and society.When the likelihood and severity of an adverse impact is high,then due diligence is more extensive.132 Supplier Selection Guidelines In 2023,we added
142、 responsible sourcing due diligence to Teslas internal Global Procurement Policy supplier selection guidelines to include social and environmental criteria in sourcing decisions before awarding business to any supplier,including but not limited to,CSR audit scores,SAQ results,complaints submitted vi
