The Apple Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Responsibility Standards outline our requirements for our suppliers in the areas of labor and human rights, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management systems. Since 2005, the Code and Standards have been updated annually, are published on our website in 15 languages, and communicated to our suppliers. The requirements in our Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Responsibility Standards and the due diligence we conduct across our supply chain align with internationally recognized labor and human rights standards, including those of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as well as industry-leading health and safety organizations. People are at the center of everything we do and every decision we make. While the pandemic has changed some of the ways we do our work, our values remain the same. The partnerships we have cultivated over the years throughout our supply chain have allowed us to continue to make significant progress in upholding the highest standards of labor and human rights and worker health and safety, and make unprecedented achievements in climate action and the stewardship of natural resources. Yet, as proud as we are of our progress, we know each year and each achievement is just a stepping stone in our continuous pursuit of “better.” Learn more about Supplier Responsibility at Apple We publicly share our progress through a number of reports, available on our Supplier Responsibility site : 2022 Annual People and Environment in Our Supply Chain Progress Report How We Work with Suppliers Conflict Minerals Report Supplier List Smelter and Refiner List 2021 Efforts to Combat Human Trafficking and Slavery Our approach Our commitment to people and the planet extends across our supply chain — from manufacturing to services, and to the many places where our suppliers operate. We work closely with our suppliers to uphold the highest standards so that the people in our supply chain are safe and treated with respect, and the environment is protected everywhere that Apple products are made. Apple’s work in this space is led by Apple senior management. Sabih Khan is Apple’s Senior Vice President of Operations, reporting to COO Jeff Williams. Sabih is in charge of Apple’s global supply chain, product quality, and overseeing planning, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and product fulfillment functions — the programs that support Apple’s Environment and Supply Chain Innovation work. The Operations team also supports Apple’s environmental initiatives by partnering with suppliers to propel green manufacturing, help conserve resources, and protect the planet. Holding ourselves and our suppliers to the highest standards As described on page 10 , our Human Rights Policy outlines how we treat everyone, including our customers, employees, business partners, and people at every level of our supply chain. We take a very broad view of our supply chain (see diagram on page 38 ) — and the responsibility that comes with it. We consider our supply chain to include everything that goes into designing, building, delivering, supporting, and recycling of Apple products, as well as our retail stores and all of the services and operations that are part of our supply chain ecosystem.
