Apple conducts business ethically, honestly, and in full compliance with the law. We believe that how we conduct ourselves is as critical to Apple’s success as making the best products in the world. Our Business Conduct and Compliance policies are foundational to how we do business and how we put our values into practice everyday.
We do the right thing, even when it’s not easy.

Our Business Conduct Policy
Honesty, Respect, Confidentiality, and Compliance
Our Business Conduct Policy sets out our ethical requirements for our employees. Each of our employees must certify that they have read and understand the policy when they join Apple, and again each year. Violations of the policy are taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
A number of compliance functions are deeply integrated into our business organization. Apple’s Business Conduct and Global Compliance team focuses on Business Conduct, Political Compliance, Export and Sanctions Compliance, Health Compliance, Antitrust Compliance, and Anti-Corruption Compliance.
Bringing Policy to Life
Every Apple employee is required to complete mandatory annual Business Conduct training. We offer a range of additional resources for employees to address questions and concerns, including the Business Conduct Helpline and the Business Conduct website.
Being Accountable
We conduct internal and third-party independent assessments of our programs to ensure they are effective. We make changes to our policies and our training to reflect emerging trends. Apple’s Chief Compliance Officer provides regular updates to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.

We hold ourselves and our suppliers to the highest standards to protect the people in our supply chain, and the planet we all share. We uphold that commitment by setting out what is required of our suppliers.
Yes, Apple should be responsible, if not legally binding regarding to the ethical lapses made by the Individuals further down the supply chain. Apple hired its employees and therefore has agreed to take responsibility for its employee's actions that could reflect positively or negatively on the company.
The United States Sentencing Commission defines an effective compliance and ethics program as a program designed to assure compliance with applicable legal requirements with mechanisms to prevent, detect, and correct violations and wrongdoings within an organization.
In the context of corporate governance, compliance means obeying the law.Ethics is the intent to observe the spirit of the law, in other words, it is the expressed intent to do what is right.
The theory of 'bad apple' thus suggests that an organization should be vigilant in monitoring the behaviour of its employees in order to maintain a high ethical standard.
