In the Slavery statement, Apple doesn't provide us with any specific informations of their action to reduce the risks.

"Apple strictly prohibits human trafficking and the use of involuntary labor in its supply chain and “own” business."

"All suppliers must agree to act in accordance with the principles and requirements of our Code, which includes audits."

"To eradicate bonded labor, in October 2014, we informed our suppliers that, starting in 2015, they could no longer charge any recruitment fees to foreign contract workers employed on an Apple production line."
