To further strengthen implementation of our Prevention of Modern Slavery Standards, we use a

specialized bonded-labor auditing process in certain high-risk environments, such as in highrisk geographies, in areas where employment of foreign contract workers typically occurs, and

in the case of first-time audits of suppliers. Each assessment includes an Apple employee and

a third-party auditor. In 2018 specialized debt-bonded labor audits were conducted in Taiwan,

Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates.6
