Apple INC is built on the foundation of bringing people together and
connecting communities. One of the quotes found on their website was
"We’re continuing to build a culture where everybody belongs. That’s
what sparks our innovation. And our progress toward a more inclusive
workforce and a better world." They use the idea of connecting people
to drive their products and how they deliver their services to their
customers. In order for me to ensure DEI is part of the project team that
is being assembled, I would start by creating a team with diverse team
members. It's important that the product is inclusive for all customers
so that people from all walks of life can use the product. The product
will be constructed and designed with the needs of all customers and
people in mind so that it meets the need of current customers and
others so that the product can bring in new customers. The Apple
company became very CSR focus in 2011 when Tom Cook became the
CEO. Cook then appointed Lisa Jackson as Vice President of
Environmental Initiatives. The company's CEO sits with other CEOS to
advance sustainability in China. Tom Cook leads with sustainability for
the Apple company by partnering with Bluestone Natural Farms to
transform compostable materials generated onsite into rich organic
material for use on the farm. Apple has other partnerships like this to
help advance sustainability across the United states. My product aligns
with the Apple CSR program because it's a product focused on creating
a phone that doesn't need electricity to function. the product is a phone
that uses a solar panel to collect power to make the phone function. By
using solar panels the phone becomes more eco-friendly and
environmentally conscious.
