Social Responsibility

Social responsibility is the bedrock of our culture. We recognize that we have a responsibility to our employees, suppliers, customers, community, and environment. Our philosophy is based on the tradition of giving and sharing — two things that are primary to the quality of life.

Valiant TMS will actively support and participate in charitable and volunteer activities that promote social, economic, and educational development throughout the communities in which we operate.

Valiant TMS encourages its employees to be involved in volunteer activities that improve or help our communities.

Valiant TMS is committed to maintaining a positive working environment, free from any form of harassment and/or discrimination for all its employees, customers, and suppliers. No employee, customer, or supplier should be subjected to any type of unwelcome verbally or physically offensive conduct. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy in this regard.

Conflict Materials

Valiant TMS promotes socially responsible and ethical sourcing by making reasonable efforts to identify and trace the source of any Conflict Minerals contained in Valiant TMS products. Valiant TMS strives to avoid knowingly using Conflict Materials or products containing Conflict Materials from sources in identified conflict regions, such as the Democratic Region of the Congo and surrounding countries that fund or support inhumane treatment, including human trafficking, slavery, forced labor, child labor, torture, and war crimes and to facilitate compliance with applicable regulations that mandate the disclosure of Conflict Mineral sources contained in Valiant TMS products.
