Apple's Supplier Code of Conduct and 2012 Progress Report

Apple is committed to the highest standards of social responsibility across our worldwide supply chain. We insist that all of our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. Our actions — from thorough site audits to industry-leading training programs — demonstrate this commitment.

Our suppliers must uphold the rights of their workers. Apple does not tolerate involuntary labor, underage labor, or discrimination. And as a member of the Fair Labor Association, we are setting a new standard in our industry for transparency and oversight.

Our suppliers must create a safe and healthy work environment for their workers. Safety equipment, proper ventilation, and emergency procedures are just the beginning. We go even further with safety training and worker well-being programs.

Our suppliers must use environmentally sound processes, including managing hazardous substances, treating wastewater, and limiting air emissions. It’s all part of a commitment that starts with product design and continues through manufacturing and beyond.

Apple requires suppliers to commit to the principles and standards of our Supplier Code of Conduct as a condition of doing business with us. A rigorous, Apple-led auditing program across our entire supply chain ensures that our suppliers are upholding that commitment. Learn more about auditing

We believe the best way to drive change throughout our supply chain is to train workers on the rights and protections to which they are entitled. We provide additional educational opportunities through our Supplier Employee Education and Development (SEED) program.
