CSR Policy Post-Conflicts

“We would like to totally eliminate every case of underage employment. We have done that in all of our final assembly. As we go deeper into the supply chain, we found that age verification system isn’t sophisticated enough. This is something we feel very strongly about and we want to eliminate totally.” – Tim Cook, CEO Apple training program to prevent hiring of underage
