These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008.
Violation of labor or environmental laws and practices by our suppliers or sub-suppliers could harm our business.
 
We expect our suppliers to operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including labor and environmental laws, and to otherwise meet our required supplier standards of conduct. While our internal operating guidelines promote ethical business practices, we do not control our suppliers or sub-suppliers or their labor or environmental practices. The violation of labor, environmental or other laws by any of our suppliers or sub-suppliers, or divergence of a supplier’s or sub-supplier’s labor or environmental practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the U.S., could harm our business by:
 
  •  interrupting or otherwise disrupting the shipment of our product components;
 
  •  damaging our reputation;
 
  •  forcing us to find alternate component sources;
 
  •  reducing demand for our products (for example, through a consumer boycott); or
 
  •  exposing us to potential liability for our supplier’s or sub-supplier’s wrongdoings.
