"This Statement, Microchip’s Human Rights Policy (HR-650), Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (HR-690) and our Supplier Code of Conduct (available on Microchip’s Ethics and Conduct website3) align with the U.S. Federal Government’s anti-human trafficking policy described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.222-50. As a supplier to the U.S. Government, Microchip and its suppliers are subject to the requirements of FAR Clause 52.222-50." (p. 1).

"As part of any engagement with a supplier, whether new to our eco-system or having an established relationship, our terms and conditions of purchase contractually prohibit any entity selling to Microchip from using forced, indentured or child labor. In January 2020, Microchip published a Supplier Code of Conduct that aligns with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. As a condition of sale to Microchip, all suppliers must align their conduct with the RBA Code of Conduct which includes the implementation and enforcement of policies specific to preventing forced labor, and to implement the principles, requirements and standards of the U.N. Global Compact and require its suppliers to do the same." (p. 2).
