Supplier Responsibility
How we make is as important as what we make. Putting people first. Opening doors through education. And protecting the planet.

From the moment the threat of COVID‑19 emerged, Apple took action. Working closely with medical experts and our suppliers, we put the health and safety of the people in our supply chain first. We implemented standard measures like personal protective equipment, deep‑cleaning protocols, and health screenings. But we went much further, reimagining entire factory layouts and processes to ensure that people could practice proper social distancing. We continue to support our suppliers around the world and have shared our best practices and lessons learned with partners across the industry.
Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and to have their rights respected. As part of our Supplier Code of Conduct, we require our suppliers to provide their employees with training on their rights. Apple also directly engages with thousands of supplier employees on their workplace experiences. Because the more we listen and learn, the better we all are.
From technical certifications and leadership training to robotics and coding, people have access to learning programs focused on in-demand skills where they are — whether it’s for today’s job or tomorrow’s.
Apple is carbon neutral. And by 2030, every Apple product will be too. We partner closely with suppliers to conserve resources and eliminate waste. And our initiatives go beyond conservation to support businesses and community partners in their environmental efforts.
Apple has eyes and ears on the ground in hundreds of facilities in more than 50 countries. We partner closely with our suppliers to help them meet and exceed our workplace and environmental requirements. We also engage with independent human rights and environmental organizations and openly share our tools and learnings with other companies and industries. Because the best way to accelerate progress is together.
