Apple's various products are produced and fabricated in China and like many leading manufacturers, they face constant scrutiny regarding working conditions and fair treatment of factory workers by partners and suppliers. Apple's put up a Supplier Responsibility section on their website which explains their focus on worker empowerment, labour and human rights issues, health and safety and environment and accountability. The section features detailed information on the 18 assembly facilities, 200 suppliers and even component providers that contribute to the creation and mass production of its products. It is worth a read for anyone who is interested in how product components are sourced as well as how the production process works.
