Example for “Beyond Tier 1” policies
"Suppliers are required to operate in accordance with the Apple Code and Standards, and in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Each year, we release a progress report that details our suppliers' performance in meeting our requirements. To be in compliance, suppliers are also required to apply our requirements to their sub-contractors and sub-tier suppliers, and third-party recruitment agencies, through all levels of the supply chain. If a supplier is unwilling or unable to meet our requirements, the supplier risks removal from Apple's supply chain."
