In addition to these partnerships, we are an active member of Internet Watch Foundation

and The Technology Coalition, organizations dedicated to eradicating child sexual abuse.

We are a sponsor of the Crimes Against Children Conference, which is the largest

conference of its type in North America. The yearly conference attracts more than

6,000 law enforcement officers, social workers, probation and parole officers, computer

forensic experts and members from private industry.

We seek industry-wide progress, and work in the collective to encourage others to join us

in our commitment to people and tackle supply chain challenges together. In 2018, Apple

chaired the board of the Responsible Business Alliance; served on the Steering Committee

of the Responsible Minerals Initiative; and served on the Responsible Labor Initiative, of

which we were a founding member. We convened stakeholder groups on responsible

recruitment and presented our Bonded Labor remediation program at conferences such as

the Responsible Business Alliance Annual Conference. To strengthen our efforts deeper

in the supply chain, we served on the Governance Committee of the Public-Private Alliance

for Responsible Minerals Trade, and continued our participation in the European Partnership

for Responsible Minerals.8
