Supplier Responsibility

Supplier Responsibility at Apple

Apple is committed to the highest standards of social responsibility across our worldwide supply chain. We insist that all of our suppliers provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. Our actions — from thorough site audits to industry-leading training programs — demonstrate this commitment.

Auditing

Apple requires suppliers to commit to the principles and standards of our Supplier Code of Conduct as a condition of doing business with us. A rigorous, Apple-led auditing program across our entire supply chain ensures that our suppliers are upholding that commitment. Learn more about auditing

Education and Development

We believe the best way to drive change throughout our supply chain is to train workers on the rights and protections to which they are entitled. We provide additional educational opportunities through our Supplier Employee Education and Development (SEED) program. Learn more about training
