\nCASE STUDY
\nAPPLE SUPPLIERS & LABOR PRACTICES
\nWith its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5
\nmillion iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit
\never generated from a company\u2019s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple\u2019s robust profit margin hides a
\nmore complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically.
\nMost of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and
\nharmful to the environment.
\nFor example, tin is a major component in Apple\u2019s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin
\nethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers\u2014many of them children\u2014working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by
\nhand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets
\ncome from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In
\ninterviews with miners, a 12-year-old working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: \u201cI worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up
\nthere to the bottom. It could happen.\u201d
\nApple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its
\nsourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a
\nstatement to the BBC, Apple said \u201cthe simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That
\nwould be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path since it would do
\nnothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.\u201d
\nIn an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more
\nrecent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers\u2019 working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for
\niPhones and other products continues to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
