Our commitment to human rights Embedding respect for human rights We’ve worked to embed respect for human rights across our company — in the technology we make, the way we make it, and how we treat people. A number of teams are responsible for carrying out human rights due diligence, including the Privacy, Corporate, and Compliance teams within Apple’s Legal and Global Security organization, as well as Apple’s Environment and Supply Chain Innovation (ESCI) team within Worldwide Operations. Our commitment begins with treating everyone with dignity and respect. But it doesn’t end there. We believe in the power of technology to empower and connect people around the world — and that business can and should be a force for good. Identifying and managing salient human rights risks Identifying human rights risks is the first step to addressing those risks through improvements to our policies and management systems. We work to align our efforts with the business and human rights due diligence process set forth in the UNGPs to identify, mitigate, prevent, and remedy human rights risks. We identify salient human rights risks through internal risk assessments and external industry- level third-party audits, as well as through the channels we maintain with rights holders and other stakeholders, including investors, human rights and labor experts, governments, and international bodies such as the UN. In addition to our own internal monitoring, we consider reports identifying potential risks from external sources, including international organizations, policy makers, shareholders, civil society organizations, news outlets, customers, individuals in the supply chain or supply chain communities, whistleblower mechanisms, and third-party hotlines. Reports also come through the reporting mechanisms we make available directly to all supplier employees, Apple employees, and the general public. These reports can come to us in any language and can be anonymous. Our commitment to civil rights We are deeply committed to building a more just and inclusive world and are moving forward with plans to conduct a civil rights audit. Apple’s Human Rights Policy Our Human Rights Policy governs how we treat everyone, including our customers, employees, business partners, and people across our supply chain. We’re deeply committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights in our business operations, as set out in the United Nations (UN) International Bill of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Our approach is based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). We conduct human rights due diligence to identify risks and work to mitigate them. We also seek to remedy adverse impacts, track and measure our progress, and report our findings. Our board of directors adopted the policy and is responsible for overseeing and periodically reviewing it. Apple’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel is responsible for its implementation, and reports to the Board and its committees on our progress and significant issues.
