The use of potential conflict minerals Apple also claimed that it had worked “aggressively to prevent the Diamond Core Bits hiring of underage workers” through education, holding third party recruiters accountable, and by equipping manufacturing facilities with “stronger age-verification tools.” The last major point in the report is in the area of “conflict materials,” which are raw materials used in the manufacturing process that could include sources that are Diamond Core Bits either in armed conflict or are subject to human rights abuses, such as slave labor or near slave labor. Apple’s report said that the company has identified those materials and sourced them to insure that they are not coming from such areas. “We mapped the use of potential conflict minerals in our supply chain,” Apple wrote. “We identified 142 Apple suppliers that use tantalum,LED Bulb Light, tin, tungsten, or gold to manufacture components for Apple products and the 109 smelters they source from. Apple is also at the forefront of a Diamond Core Bits joint effort with the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition EICC and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative GeSI that will help our suppliers source conflict-free materials.” Topics related articles： Deutsche Boerse risks ceding Quality Hill Square has many options Love the Way You Lie |
