"All Apple employees and interns are required to complete mandatory annual Business Conduct training which educates on key points of Apple’s Human Rights Policy, including the escalation path for potential violations. The Anti-Human Trafficking Policy describes the escalation process by which employees and other third-parties may report violations related to the policy to Apple’s Business Conduct team or through anonymous reports via Apple’s external third-party hotline."

p. 15

 

We also use this information to engage with the identified FCW labor agencies to provide targeted training and capability-building on modern slavery and debt-bonded labor eradication, detailed in Section V, “Training and Capability-Building.”

 

"Under the Code and Standards, suppliers are required to educate their employees on Apple’s Code and Standards, including the Prevention of Modern Slavery Standards. They must provide contracts that accurately describe an employee’s work, a clear account of wages and benefits (including leave), and information on Apple’s zero- tolerance policy on recruitment fees. Suppliers also are required to have their employees attend a new-hire orientation training on local labor laws and the human rights protections outlined in our Code and Standards." p. 16

 

"Certain suppliers, such as those providing retail janitorial and facilities services to Apple stores and other sites, also receive specialized training related to human trafficking prevention and debt-bonded labor risk mitigation specific to services supply chains." p. 16

 

"We also provide training to labor recruitment agencies on topics such as conducting effective worker interviews and delivering comprehensive pre-departure training to FCWs." p. 17

"In total, nearly 150 suppliers across 20 countries were trained on the Responsible Recruitment Toolkit in 2020. Additional small, in-depth training sessions were provided to suppliers upon request in Australia, Japan, UK, U.S. and Vietnam to help them better understand the guidance provided by the toolkit and troubleshoot specific issues"

ethical violations. p. 15
