"When a Core Violation is identified, the supplier’s Chief Executive Officer is notified, and the supplier is immediately placed on probation." p. 13
"Examples of consequences resulting from probation include receiving no new projects, no new business, and the termination of existing business with Apple." p. 13
"Beyond immediately addressing the Core Violation, suppliers must also make changes in their management system that address the root causes of the violation, take and sustain preventive measures to ensure the violation does not reoccur, and provide remedy to affected workers in line with the UNGPs." p. 13
"When we discover violations of debt-bonded labor, we require suppliers to provide direct remedy to affected workers. Since 2008, US$32.4 million in recruitment fees have been repaid to 36,980 foreign contract workers by our suppliers." p. 14

"If we find violations of our Code or Standards during an assessment, we partner with the supplier to develop a corrective action plan, build the supplier’s capabilities, and make the required improvements. Corrective action plans require suppliers to resolve all identified issues within 90 days, and include sustained onsite and remote coaching, training, and/or toolkit implementations. Beyond addressing the violation, suppliers must also make changes in their management system that address the root causes of the violation. To retain our business, they must also take and sustain preventive measures to ensure the violation does not reoccur. After the supplier has made the necessary improvements, we verify the completion of each item in the corrective action plan before finalizing and closing the assessment."

Failure to comply with Apple’s Business Conduct Policy, or failure to report a violation, may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. p. 3
