Challenges in the Global Business Environment: Analysis of
Apple Inc.
INTB 3080 - Global Environment of Business
University of Cincinnati
It is evident that Apple is one of the leading technology companies in
the world. The company has ventured into the manufacture of some of
the most sold out products such as iPhone and Ipads in the global
market. In the recent years, the company has also ventured into the
manufacture of other electronic devices such as MacBook which has
made the company to earn its recognition in the global market.
However, the company has also faced several challenges regarding its
code of conduct. In 2010, the management of the company had to
make it clear some of the issues regarding the company's code of
conduct. It was evident that the reputation of the company as tarnished
by some of the employees who were not observing the company's
code of conduct. Since Apple is an international company, it has
opened branches in several parts of the world. The supplier code of
conduct established by the company mist is inclusive of the people'
culture and traditions. With globalization, people tend to adapt to new
cultures as well as traditions. In that case, Apple has ensured
flexibility regarding its code of conduct. It is important to note that
some code of conduct tends to apply to all business. Apple's
management has made several changes in the company's supplier's
code of conduct over the recent years.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.

has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.

company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly

the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.

rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs

people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face

ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure

not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
much as they need that contract, they are putting their lives in danger.
Based on that, the company ensured that its code of conduct provides
safety of such people. Discrimination was another act included in the
human rights act. It was indicated that the supplier must not be
involved in any discrimination while offering their services
(Thompson, 2014). Since Apple is an international company, it sells
its product to the diverse type of groups. In that case, it is likely that
the supplier might discriminate people based on their race, religion,
the gender or even ethnicity. By establishing that code of conduct, the
supplier must ensure that they act within the law.
Wages and benefit was another supplier code of conduct that was
included in the recent years. The company ensured that all the
employees were given equal treatment in term of wages and benefits.
The suppliers were supposed to deliver certain services that would
ensure that they earn bonuses. This type of bonus was same for the
suppliers around the world. However, the company established other
facts that must be put into consideration such as the amount of
products supplies for them to earn a certain amount of business. This
was a way of motivating them to increase their production.
Management practices are also a supplier code of conduct that the
company changed in the recent years. The code of conduct is about
the provision of service delivery. It was agreed that the supplier must
ensure good service delivery in all aspects. With the increased level of
competition in the market, it was important for the company to ensure
good service delivery. In that case, the supplier was supposed to
ensure that they were well equipped when it comes to the issue of
service delivery. In fact, Apple established various penalties for
suppliers who were not observing that code of conduct (Lawrence,
2013). The management was very strict on how the supplier was
delivering their services both to the company and to the customers.
The move ensured that the company increased its profit in the global
market. Most of the customers were very pleased with the type of
service delivery from the suppliers.
The suppliers are supposed to observe all the codes of conduct set by
the company to maintain its good reputation with the management. It
was observed that the suppliers were also a representation of the
company in a way on the outside market. In that case, if they fail to
work within that code of conduct, it will have a gustative impact to the
company's image.
One of the Apple supplier codes of conduct that as established in 2015
was the issue of providing safe working conditions for the workers.
Apple is a company that has opened its branches in cities all over the
years. One of the facts is that the entire employee in those places tends
to receive the same type of treatment (Bartholomew, 2010). For
example, regarding offering certain motivational services, al the
employee tend to receive the same. In that case, the company's code of
conduct ensures that employee is comfortable while working for the
company. It was noted that some employee in other parts of the world
tends to affect certain challenges such as terrorism. This is mostly
experienced in the Arabic nations. To ensure the safety of such
employee, the company has increased the security measure for those
people. Also, the company has employed the use of modern
technology that would ensure the safety of the employees
(Bartholomew, 2010). The supplier, on the other hand, tends to face
similar challenges of insecurity. In that case, the company has
ventured into the use of local suppliers in such areas. This will ensure
that the supplier is aware of the situation and are not forced to work to
deliver products to the company branches in those places.
Observing environmental protection is another type of supplier code
of conduct that is administered by Apple in the recent years. It was
observed that the company must ensure that its activities are protective
to the environment; for example, the supplier must ensure that all their
activities with the company do not lead to any pollution to the
environment (Bartholomew, 2010). In that way, the company has
ensured that the supplier uses environment-friendly products in that
process. With the increased level of pollution around the world,
various governments have set several rules that regulate any pollution.
In that case, the company has ensured that their entire supplier abides
by such rules and regulations. For example, while producing certain
products, the various chemical might be required which can lead to
environmental pollution. In that case, the company has ensured that
their suppliers use other means that would ensure that the environment
is conserved.
Labor and human right is another supplier code of conduct that Apple
has administered over the years. The supplier must ensure that all the
human right acts are observed. This includes the provision of goods
and services. It was observed that in the past years, the suppliers were
engaging in other activities which were not according to the human
rights provision. In that manner, it was clear that the company needs
to adjust such code of conduct to ensure that it maintains its good
reputation in the global market (Thompson, 2014). For example, it is
not right for the company to ensure that its supplier delivers product to
areas that are faced with the various type of terrorist activities. As
