A company I would like to focus on for this assignment would be Apple Inc. Reason being is because I feel like I’m such a tech nerd. I’m fascinated on how technology can rapidly change and well personally this is perfect for me to see what goes behind such a big company like Apple. I actually find myself owning a lot of Apple’s products which makes me interact and stay up to date with their technology and products on a daily basis. Just like any other company there’s always much more than what Apple markets on the big screens.
Let’s dig a bit more deep, Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company specializing in consumer electronics, software and online services. Apple is a customer driven company so essentially it’s all the customers and the primary goal is to keep them coming back to them instead of them going to their rival companies. Apple products are made by millions of people in over 50 countries. The company takes pride when it comes to sourcing and recycling, they apply the highest standards to ensure that every person in our supply chain is valued, respected, and safe. Apple has zero tolerance for forced labor or human rights violations of any kind
As stated in on the Apple website, their business practices are as following:
Honesty—Demonstrate honesty and high ethical standards in all business dealings.
Respect—Treat customers, partners, suppliers, employees, and others with respect and courtesy.
Confidentiality—Protect Apple’s confidential information and the information of our customers, partners, suppliers, and
employees.
Compliance—Ensure that business decisions comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Apple as a company takes innovation on how their products impact their environment which is why Apple suppliers are committed to using renewable energy for their production. The operations are all carbon neutral.Their goal is to reach carbon neutrality worldwide. To do this, we’re committed to transitioning our entire supply chain to renewable energy.
A large company like Apple can’t function without employees and we all know the importance of the role they play to keep the company going Apple has an excessive health and safety risks ve led to a widespread sense of unsafe working conditions among workers
