See page 10 - "Addressing Code Violations and Remedy"

Any supplier with a documented Core Violation is placed on probation until the satisfactory

completion of their next audit. During probation, the issue that caused the Core Violation is

monitored closely by Apple, and if the supplier does not demonstrate necessary progress

toward corrective action, they risk removal from our supply chain. To date, 22 manufacturing

supplier facilities have been removed from our supply chain.

Apple is committed to continuing our efforts to root out and remediate instances of debtbonded labor from our supply chain. When we discover violations of our Code related to this

issue, we believe direct remedy by the suppliers to affected individuals is required. Since 2008,

US$32.3 million in recruitment fees have been repaid to 36,599 employees by suppliers.10

The

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 a third party hotline.10
