2019 Intel Corporation Statement on Combating Modern Slavery

2019 Intel Corporation Statement on combating modern slavery May 2020 reporting for fiscal year ending December 28, 2019 Intel1 is committed to ensuring modern slavery and human trafficking play no part in our business or supply chain. As part of this commitment, we continually strive to achieve the highest level of ethical, environmental, and employee-related standards within our own businesses and supply chains, making sure that employees, partners, suppliers, and others are working together to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking. The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), the U.K. Modern Slavery Act 2015, and the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (the “Acts”) require certain companies to state their efforts and action taken during the financial year to ensure modern slavery and human trafficking are not taking place in their operations and supply chains. Similarly, the revised Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.222-50 (‘‘Combating Trafficking in Persons”) and new FAR provision 52.222-56 (‘‘Certification Regarding Trafficking in Persons Compliance Plan”) focus on eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking from the U.S. Federal Government contracting supply chain. This 2019 Intel Corporation Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement (the “Statement”) is made pursuant to the requirements of the Acts and reflects Intel’s efforts to combat the conduct prohibited by the FAR’s anti-slavery and anti-trafficking provisions. The statement aims to provide consumers detailed information to make better, more informed choices about the products and services they buy and the companies they support. Throughout this Statement we reference “modern slavery,” which includes forced labor, debt bonded labor, indentured labor, involuntary labor, including prison labor, slavery, human trafficking, and child labor. 1 References to “Intel”, “we”, “us” “our” as used in this Statement refers collectively to Intel Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Intel Corporation (UK) Limited, Image Processing Techniques Limited, Intel Australia Pty, Limited, and McAfee Australia Pty, Limited.
