Apple’s internal Anti-Human Trafficking Policy outlines our firm stance against

any form of human trafficking and requires that any employee that becomes aware

of human trafficking or behaviors supporting human trafficking report this condition

to Apple’s Business Conduct team. 3

We encourage workers to report any retaliation

to us, and we, along with our third-party audit partners, follow up with all suppliers to

address any reported issue. 4

All supplier core violations are escalated directly to senior management at

Apple and the supplier, and are required to be addressed immediately. 5
