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...All Apple corporate employees including those on the ground in our suppliers' facilities, receive training annually on key points in our Supplier Code of Conduct as well as Applies process for reporting supply chain issues, and are instructed to report anything that might be considered a violation, including forced labor, trafficking, or ethical violations.

 

In addition to online resources, Apple deploys onsite experts to train and support suppliers, resolve immediate issues and improve their management systems to prevent recurrence. Introduced in 2016, this program is comprised of more than 30 experts with robust industry experience and knowledge to solve both management and technical issues, including expertise in responsible labour recruitment, management of FCWs, and the prevention of modern slavery. In FY2021, experts worked with suppliers in Greater China, India, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.
