遵守有害物質限制條例(RoHS)RoHS指令限制在電機電子設備使用有害物質。康耐視致力於遵循RoHS標準,減少在產品中使用鉛、汞、鎘、鉻以及其他規定的有害物質。
在某些情況下,康耐視無法將部分產品轉成符合標準的產品,原因可能包括缺少符合RoHS的元件,或產品已達生命週期終點。在這些情況下,康耐視會建議採用符合RoHS規定的替代產品,並協助客戶發展轉型計劃。開發計劃在2005年7月以後開始的所有康耐視產品均符合RoHS標準。
遵守廢電機電子設備(WEEE) 標準
康耐視全力支持實施WEEE指令,其目標為減少和回收垃圾掩埋場日益增加的WEEE數量。
康耐視產品的設計和製造均以耐用穩固為考量,且經WEEE指令規定的標準進行評估。在可能的情況下,產品會進行修理,以減少廢電子設備對環境帶來的衝擊。若無法修理,康耐視會為客戶安排產品回收處置事宜。康耐視已在數個歐盟會員國登記,以符合WEEE法令規定。
位於歐盟會員國的客戶如需處置康耐視產品,請聯絡技術支援部門,以取得相關指示。
Conflict Minerals Policy (v.05.26.20)
Environmental After Link
Conflict Minerals Policy
Background
In 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) Section 1502 (“§ 1502”) requiring the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to issue rules specifically relating to the use of “Conflict Minerals” within manufactured products. Conflict Minerals are defined by the US Law as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (also known as the “3TGs”) and related derivatives originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and adjoining countries (collectively, “DRC Region”). The SEC rules require any SEC registrant whose commercial products contain any 3TGs to determine whether the minerals originated from the DRC Region, and, if so, whether they are conflict free. By enacting this provision, Congress intends to further the humanitarian goal of ending the extremely violent conflict in the DRC Region, which has been partially financed by the exploitation and trade of Conflict Minerals originating in the DRC Region.
Commitment
Cognex Corporation (“Cognex”) is committed to complying with the § 1502 requirements by working with our supply chain partners and taking reasonable steps to ensure 3TGs are not sourced by Cognex or our supply chain partners in a way that would directly or indirectly benefit armed groups responsible for serious human rights abuses in the DRC Region.
It is the desire of Cognex to make responsible sourcing decisions for all of our 3TG products, including materials and components contained therein (collectively, “3TG Product”); however, due to the complexity of our supply chain and the number of suppliers involved, this is a process that will evolve over time. In the meantime, Cognex will take reasonable steps to map our 3TG Product, back to the smelter.
Expectations of Suppliers
Cognex expects our suppliers to partner with us and also make responsible sourcing decisions. We expect our suppliers, at a minimum, to comply with our requests to provide statements and perform due diligence about the source of any conflict minerals in their products which are provided to us. Cognex’s direct suppliers may have to require successive upstream suppliers to complete a Conflict Minerals survey, such as the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition-Global e-Sustainability Initiative (“EICC-GeSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template or similar, until the smelter is identified. Cognex is committed to take reasonable action for suppliers who are not conflict free and/or do not comply with our disclosure requests as outlined in this policy.
