Since 2009 we have removed 25 manufacturing suppliers and 205 material processors from our supply chain for failure to uphold our Code. Any supplier that is unable or unwilling to meet our standards risks termination of its business with Apple. Suppliers with Core Violations of our Code (the most serious level of violation) face probation and immediate consequences, including ineligibility for new business, a notification sent to their CEO, and the suspension of existing projects if required short-term actions are not taken. If violations of our Code are found, suppliers must fix the issues and take steps to prevent them from happening again, all under the supervision of Apple experts. Apple employees are also onsite every day at many of our suppliers’ manufacturing facilities, collaborating with them on every aspect of their work. Of the assessments in the 2022 reporting period, 214 were surprise visits where the supplier had no advance notice of the assessment team’s arrival. These onsite audits include a thorough review of every detail of a supplier’s operations, from workplace conditions to fair hiring practices and timely wage payment. We verify that suppliers are meeting our standards through rigorous independent third-party assessments, completing over 800 related to our Code in fiscal year 2022. We update our Code every year, raising the bar for our suppliers and challenging others in the industry to join us. For more than 15 years, we have partnered with our suppliers to drive the highest supply chain standards, aligning with the most stringent international frameworks, including the International Labour Organization Core Conventions and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The Apple Supplier Code of Conduct (our Code) is a rigorous set of requirements that Apple suppliers must meet in the areas of labor and human rights, health and safety, and environmental stewardship. The Apple Human Rights Policy outlines how we treat everyone that our business reaches - including our employees, our customers, and the people in our supply chain. We require our suppliers to uphold the highest standards of labor and human rights, making respect for people the foundation of their business. Creating the best products in the world means putting people first - always.
