Patent Pledge

On June 12, 2014, Tesla announced that it will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use its technology. Tesla was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport, and this policy is intended to encourage the advancement of a common, rapidly-evolving platform for electric vehicles, thereby benefiting Tesla, other companies making electric vehicles, and the world. These guidelines provide further detail as to how we are implementing this policy.

Tesla’s Pledge

Tesla irrevocably pledges that it will not initiate a lawsuit against any party for infringing a Tesla Patent through activity relating to electric vehicles or related equipment for so long as such party is acting in good faith. Key terms of the Pledge are explained below.

Definition of Key Terms

"Tesla Patents" means all patents owned now or in the future by Tesla (other than a patent owned jointly with a third party or any patent that Tesla later acquires that comes with an encumbrance that prevents it from being subject to this Pledge). A list of Tesla Patents subject to the Pledge will be maintained at the following URL: https://www.tesla.com/legal/additional-resources#patent-list.

A party is "acting in good faith" for so long as such party and its related or affiliated companies have not:

asserted, helped others assert or had a financial stake in any assertion of (i) any patent or other intellectual property right against Tesla or (ii) any patent right against a third party for its use of technologies relating to electric vehicles or related equipment;
challenged, helped others challenge, or had a financial stake in any challenge to any Tesla patent; or
marketed or sold any knock-off product (e.g., a product created by imitating or copying the design or appearance of a Tesla product or which suggests an association with or endorsement by Tesla) or provided any material assistance to another party doing so.

Transfer of Tesla Patents

Should Tesla ever transfer a Tesla Patent to a third party, it will do so only to a party that agrees, by means of a public declaration intended to be binding on such party, to provide the same protection that Tesla provided under the Pledge and to place the same requirement on any subsequent transferee.

Legal Effect

The Pledge, which is irrevocable and legally binding on Tesla and its successors, is a "standstill," meaning that it is a forbearance of enforcement of Tesla’s remedies against any party for claims of infringement for so long as such party is acting in good faith. In order for Tesla to preserve its ability to enforce the Tesla Patents against any party not acting in good faith, the Pledge is not a waiver of any patent claims (including claims for damages for past acts of infringement) and is not a license, covenant not to sue, or authorization to engage in patented activities or a limitation on remedies, damages or claims. Except as expressly stated in the Pledge, no rights shall be deemed granted, waived or received by implication, exhaustion, estoppel or otherwise. Finally, the Pledge is not an indication of the value of an arms-length, negotiated license or a reasonable royalty.

What this pledge means is that as long as someone uses our patents for electric vehicles and doesn’t do bad things, such as knocking off our products or using our patents and then suing us for intellectual property infringement, they should have no fear of Tesla asserting its patents against them.

Tesla Global Human Rights Policy

Introduction and Scope

The ethical treatment of all people and regard for human rights is core to Tesla’s mission of a sustainable future for all. This Global Human Rights Policy (“Policy”) is applicable to both our own operations and our supply chain, and includes the communities impacted by our operations and our supply chain. We take seriously our responsibility to respect human rights and expect those with whom we work to do the same.

This Policy is the formalization of our commitment to uphold, respect, and embed human rights and the values they represent throughout our business as we accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Tesla recognizes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”), which focuses on dignity, respect, and equality, without discrimination, for all people. We also utilize the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

The Policy outlines the core standards and expectations we have established for our facilities, business units, employees, suppliers, and business partners in the area of human rights. Tesla defines our suppliers as all companies or individuals involved in a supply chain producing goods and services for Tesla, whether directly or indirectly, as well as their personnel, agents, and subcontractors, referred to hereinafter as “suppliers.” The Policy is incorporated into our Tesla Code of Business Ethics, and all Tesla employees and contractors are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this Policy. It is also embedded in our Supplier Code of Conduct, and we expect our suppliers and business partners to implement effective systems to adhere to this Policy.

Where national law and international human rights standards differ, we will follow the higher standard; where they are in conflict, we will adhere to national law, while seeking ways to respect international human rights to the greatest extent possible.

Governance

Tesla periodically reviews and updates its Policy and associated processes. Every two years, Tesla engages in a holistic review of our Policy with cross-functional representatives from Compliance, Community Relations, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Employee Relations, Environmental Health & Safety, Global Trade Compliance, Human Resources, Investor Relations, Legal, Public Policy & Business Development, Product Safety, Responsible Sourcing, Sustainability, and Supply Chain to keep the policy up-to-date and reflective of Tesla’s growing operations.

Our work to respect human rights throughout our supply chain is overseen internally by executive representatives from Supply Chain, Investor Relations, and Public Policy & Business Development. We also engage external groups on a regular basis to provide feedback on our approach to responsible sourcing.

Commitment

Tesla is committed to upholding and respecting all internationally recognized human rights and the values they represent throughout our direct operations and supply chain – including with respect to our employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, and the communities in which we live and operate. We seek to avoid causing or contributing to actual or potential adverse human rights impacts, and we expect our suppliers to also support and promote these values in their own operations and those of their suppliers.

Assessing and addressing human rights risks is an ongoing effort that involves engaging with and incorporating input from external stakeholders of potential impact, including stakeholders impacted by our operations and our supply chain, as well as reviewing and updating our policies and procedures where necessary. With this understanding, Tesla is committed to addressing any potential adverse human rights impacts. We seek to remedy adverse impacts, track and measure our progress, and report our findings.

In fulfilling our responsibility to respect human rights, we are committed to implementing the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We conduct human rights due diligence to identify risks and work to mitigate them. We acknowledge that some groups are more vulnerable than others; our Policy and associated efforts take care to respect those most vulnerable or marginalized.

Salient Human Rights Issues

The following topics are based on recognized international human rights standards and reflect several salient human rights issues we have identified in our operations and supply chain. Tesla regularly updates this list as regional contexts change or as we update our Policy. Our respect for human rights is not limited to these topics.

Health and Safety

(Aligned with UDHR Article: 3)

Health and safety are fundamental values at Tesla. Our efforts to ensure a healthy and safe workplace reinforce our commitment to human rights.

Tesla is committed to conducting all aspects of business in a manner that protects the safety and health of employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, and the public. We strive to minimize injuries and illnesses, as well as property loss or business interruption caused by accidents, fire, or other hazards.

Tesla is dedicated to providing quality equipment, access to clean water, safe tools, and necessary protective equipment to keep employees safe. Employees engage to identify potential hazards, anticipate exposures and risks, and act to eliminate or control potential workplace hazards. Tesla provides ongoing safety information, training, and the necessary resources to maintain a safe working environment. Employees are empowered to stop work if unsafe conditions or behaviors are observed, so corrections can be made to complete the job safely.

We expect all employees to cooperate fully with our safety measures and actively participate to keep each other safe. Our employees are encouraged to communicate with each other and with management when unsafe acts are observed or if there is potential for an unsafe working environment. Through personal commitment and excellent communication, we strive to maintain a safe and productive place to work. Tesla will not compromise any health or safety requirements for profit or production. This is reinforced by the principles and objectives detailed in our Global Environmental, Health, Safety & Security (EHS&S) Policy.

Tesla similarly requires its suppliers to ensure that their employees and contractors are provided with a healthy and safe work environment. Suppliers are required to comply with working hours as defined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Overtime work must be consensual, and in compliance with local laws, be paid at a premium rate. Tesla’s Supplier Code of Conduct provides additional guidance on our expectations and regulatory compliance procedures for supply chain health and safety.

Forced Labor, Modern Slavery, and Human Trafficking

(Aligned with UDHR Articles: 4, 5, 23)

Tesla recognizes the International Labour Organization (ILO) definitions for forced labor, modern slavery, and human trafficking and has zero tolerance for any form of such abuses, including debt bondage, indentured labor, and compulsory prison labor. We are committed to ensuring that our supply chain – from raw materials to final products – is free of such abuses.

We establish comprehensive policies, monitor our suppliers, and put in place robust procedures to help ensure that no one is forced to work. We take a systematic approach to identifying and addressing risk in the supply chain and utilize the indicators of forced labor defined by the ILO. We maintain awareness of geographic risks, labor trends, and other factors through sources such as industry groups, NGOs, suppliers, workers, reputable media sources, and other stakeholders. We train employees on forced labor awareness and prevention and require suppliers to help in our efforts to end abuses.

We will not tolerate any transporting, harboring, recruiting, transferring, or receiving of persons by means of threat, force, coercion, abduction, or fraud for labor or services. No worker may be coerced to work or subjected to physical punishment or threats of violence or other forms of physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal abuse as a method of discipline or control. We also do not allow any direct or indirect control tactics, including threats, corporal punishment, or economic, emotional, or familial abuse at our facilities nor in the facilities of our suppliers.

All workers have the right to freedom of movement, and the conditions of employment must not restrict their movement through the retention of identity papers, holding of deposits, accommodation requirements, or any other action aimed at restricting worker mobility.

In line with the Employer Pays Principle, no worker should be required to pay recruitment or other similar fees to secure or retain their employment. Tesla does not allow the use of recruitment fees or other related fees for employment such as application, recruiting, hiring, placement, or processing fees, from workers. The cost of recruitment should be borne by the employer. If workers are found to have paid recruitment fees or other related fees for employment, Tesla requires the reimbursement of the full cost of such fees.

Where we find any violation of our policies, we take swift action to remedy the issue and improve supplier operations and conditions for workers. Tesla considers indicators of Forced Labor to be the highest severity of non-conformances and thereby prioritizes responding to these risks. Generally, we work in partnership with suppliers to review root causes, and as appropriate, approve plans to improve, remediate, and monitor evidence of improvement and worker engagement. There are certain gross violations of human rights where Tesla will disengage with a supplier and not re-engage until evidence of remediation is provided and the supplier has strengthened its management system to prevent future violations.

Child Labor and Young Workers

(Aligned with UDHR Articles: 4, 5, 25, 26)

We respect the rights of children and young workers. Tesla prohibits the use of child labor in our operations and supply chain. Tesla strictly follows local and national laws restricting the employment of underage workers. Regardless of local laws, no workers at a facility or location that provides materials or services for Tesla or Tesla products may be under the age of 15. We require our suppliers and third-party recruitment services to verify the age and identity of workers at the time of hiring to ensure that they comply with the International Labour Organization requirements for minimum age for admission to employment and are therefore entitled to work. We also require suppliers and third-party recruitment services to have processes in place to responsibly remediate any potential policy violations.

Tesla encourages the development of potential future employees using internships or student worker programs. However, these programs should be designed for the benefit of, and include training for, the students. Participants in such programs may not perform work that is likely to endanger their health or safety, including night shifts or overtime. All participants must be fairly compensated for their work based on local laws.

Should a case of child labor be identified within our supply chain – as defined by local law or younger than 15, whichever is more stringent – Tesla will take immediate action and ensure appropriate remediation, including enrollment of the child in an education program. If workers under the age of 18 (young workers) are found to be involved in hazardous work, they are removed immediately from the situation and provided alternative work that is age appropriate and not hazardous. Tesla is committed to ensuring that no workers under the age of 18 are performing hazardous or harmful work.

In implementation of this policy, Tesla will work to strengthen supplier capabilities, particularly that of small and medium enterprises, to conduct effective due diligence on child labor risks—including the worst forms of child labor.

Respectful Workplace and Equal Opportunities

(Aligned with UDHR Articles: 1, 7, 23)

Tesla is committed to treating everyone with respect by creating and maintaining a respectful and inclusive workplace. In conformance with local law, Tesla respects the right of workers to form and join trade unions of their own choosing or choose to refrain or to form and join other employee representative bodies if applicable, to bargain collectively, and to engage in peaceful assembly as well as respect the right of workers to refrain from such activities.

Tesla recognizes the value of different backgrounds and perspectives in our workforce, and fully promotes equal opportunity for all employees, both current and prospective. Just as we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, national origin, disability, medical condition, military and veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or any other characteristic protected by law, r
