Supporting people in our supply chain We are continuing to work together with our suppliers to help them ensure that every necessary precaution is taken to keep people safe at work. In 2020, we introduced an enhancement to our Code and Standards specifically addressing Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response (IDPR). IDPR contains a set of new requirements resulting from our learnings during the pandemic, which will help our suppliers better prepare for and be ready to respond to an infectious disease outbreak at their facility. As part of the rollout of IDPR in fiscal year 2021, we conducted more than 200 onsite and remote specialized assessments to verify suppliers’ compliance with COVID-19 control protocols in order to drive improvement when necessary. We also continue to assess any existing gaps at supplier facilities, and identify opportunities to work with those in higher-risk areas to help make their facilities safer. This includes working with third-party suppliers to redesign and reconfigure factory floor plans where necessary, implementing flexible working hours to maximize interpersonal space, implementing enhanced deep cleaning protocols, and deploying masks and sanitizers. In fiscal year 2021, we also encouraged our suppliers’ employees to get vaccinated and boosted where available. We also partnered with NGOs to help further support supplier employees, as well as those working deeper in our supply chain, particularly those from vulnerable groups. We worked with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) — the world’s leading organization providing services to migrant workers — to provide support to migrant workers impacted by the pandemic. With support from Apple, our long-time partner Pact, an international development organization, prepared and coordinated activities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in several mining communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The initiative has reached more than 50,000 people through individual and group dialogues on COVID-19 prevention since the program began in December 2020. Giving back to our communities Apple’s company-wide response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved teams across the business, including product design, engineering, operations, packaging teams, suppliers, and more. At the beginning of the pandemic, when personal protective equipment was in short supply, we sourced through our supply chain and donated more than 30 million masks for healthcare workers worldwide. We also launched a company-wide effort to produce and ship over 10 million face shields. These face shields were delivered to sites around the world, from New York Presbyterian Hospital in the U.S. to the Ministry of Health in Zambia. Additionally, we have also donated over $10 million to the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. We also matched employee donations two-to-one to support COVID-19 response efforts worldwide. We awarded $10 million from our Advanced Manufacturing Fund to COPAN diagnostics, a market leader in sample collection kits, that rapidly accelerated their ability to supply sample collection kits to hospitals in the U.S. for COVID-19 testing. And our partnership with Product (RED) also supported COVID-19 response (see page 65 ). Collaboration with our suppliers helps them make sure they’re taking every necessary precaution to keep people safe at work. In partnership with the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the CDC, we released an app and a website that guided Americans through a series of questions about their health and exposure to determine if they should seek care for COVID-19 symptoms, providing CDC recommendations on next steps, including guidance on social distancing and self -isolating, how to closely monitor symptoms, recommendations on testing, and when to contact a medical provider. And we collaborated with Google to create a new exposure notification system for global governments and health agencies, with user privacy and security central to its design, to help fight the pandemic.
