Apple Inc. is dedicated to revering the greatest labor standards, ethics, human rights, and environmental conduct. Apple suppliers are necessitated to offer secure working conditions, utilize ecologically responsible practices when making goods or offering services for Apple, treat employees with respect and dignity, and act ethically and fairly (“Business conduct,” 2022). Apple’s anti-discrimination policy is contained in the Apple Supplier Code of Conduct, founded on worldwide-acknowledged civil liberties in the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights. Apple Inc. has profoundly dedicated itself to revering.
Apple’s code of conduct states that suppliers should not single out an employee based on disability, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, age, or sexual orientation. Employees should not be discriminated against because of their marital status, race, national origin, political association, and other status shielded by relatable local or federal regulation in employment activities (“Business conduct,” 2022). Suppliers should also not necessitate medical or pregnancy tests except when needed by pertinent rules and guidelines or practical for place of work security. They should not inappropriately show favoritism based on test outcomes.
Additionally, Apple Inc. enforces its policy by necessitating that all suppliers have a printed rule in opposition to favoritism that adheres to the Standard, pertinent regulations and policies, the Code and all other related, pertinent values. The suppliers also provide employees with reasonable accommodation for religious practices. When the company is recruiting or hiring, its job adverts, job performance assessment practices and policies, job descriptions, and job application forms are free from discriminatory bias (“Business conduct,” 2022). Apple Inc. makes reasonable accommodations for nursing mothers. It does not include bias on personal medical status for workers unless the decision can negatively affect workplace safety.
