Apple Says Supplies Don't Come From War Zones

New York Times - 17 hours ago

In its supplier responsibility report, Apple also said that it was
trying to put an end to excessively long workweeks. It said that last
year it drove suppliers to an average of 95 percent compliance with
its standard for a maximum workweek of 60 hours, up from 92 percent
compliance the previous year.

company's suppliers are distributed around the world.

"Workweeks exceeding 60 hours have been a persistent problem for the
electronics industry, and reducing excessive overtime remains a
priority for Apple," the company said in its report. "We limit
workweeks to 60 hours, except in unusual circumstances. And all
overtime must be absolutely voluntary."

Apple said it was investing in helping workers throughout its supply
chain better understand their rights. It said that last year, more
than 280,000 people at 18 supplier sites took courses offered through
its free education program, and suppliers trained about 1.5 million
workers on their rights.

Apple released a list of its major suppliers as part of its supplier
responsibility report for the first time two years ago, following
other corporations like Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Nike, which have
released similar lists.

This is the eighth such report that Apple has released. The company
started conducting audits and publishing reports in 2007 after media
reports of poor working conditions at Foxconn, a Chinese manufacturer
of products for Apple, Sony, Microsoft and others.

Apple's 2011 report showed that 137 workers had been seriously injured

after cleaning iPad screens with n-hexane, a toxic chemical that can
cause nerve damage and paralysis. The year before, there were several
suicides among workers at Foxconn.
