Apple Reveals Its Suppliers for First Time
- daxelrod 15y agoAlso see Apple's mini-site about this: http://www.apple.com/supplierresponsibility/ http://www.apple.com/supplierresponsibility/ (which has apparently been around for about a year[1]). I'm very pleasantly surprised by this news. This is way more transparent than I'm used to seeing Apple being, especially since the report itself doesn't paint an entirely rosy picture about the current situation.

- jesseendahl 15y agoWhat's possibly even more impressive is that they are the first technology company to join the Fair Labor Association, opening them up to independent outside audits.[1] Except from the supplier report: "Apple recently became the first technology company accepted by the Fair Labor Association (FLA), and we look forward to working with them. While we have worked with third-party auditors for several years, Apple will also open its supply chain to the FLA’s independent auditing team, who will measure our suppliers’ performance against the FLA’s Workplace Code of Conduct and the results will appear on their website. It’s a level of transparency and independent oversight that is unmatched in our industry."[2] [1]: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/apple-joins-fair-labor-association-137285303.html http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/apple-joins-fair-lab...
