For a while now, Apple has the ambition and ambition: produce all your new products with recycled materials and stop mining resources. In this way, it eliminates pollution and helps reduce global warming, which is a current problem among all.
But achieving that is not something that can be done overnight, so Apple is still working in the mines and ingredient stores to find certain volatile substances such as gold or tugstene. However does it with many companies and auditors, something more important than the way it looks.
Five years without indirect funding
Details provided by Apple to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): none of the 267 companies are issuing fiscal disputes in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Copertino company also reported that asked to cut ties with 18 mining companies refusing to be explored, although ultimately the number of companies that have stopped working with Apple has fallen to 36.
From Copertino, they have recently worked with a number of natural resource companies, from 242 in 2015 to 267 in 2019 and all have tests to ensure they do not fund conflicting activities. It seems a bit confusing considering Apple's policy of relying entirely on recycling, but it makes sense when selling more and more products. In the future we should see how this process is gradually postponed.
