Angela Ahrendts announces news at the Slavery Award
The award Slavery award It is delivered every year by the Thomas Reuters Foundation since 2015. This initiative "recognizes companies that have taken concrete steps to eradicate forced labor from their supply chains." More and more cases are emerging in the light of exploitation of employees related to the different factories that supply components to large companies.
This award is presented annually at a conference and on this occasion Apple has earned this recognition. It is an acknowledgment for two reasons. Firstly, it offers an advantage over the competition by having a distinction of being recognized as a company away from forced labor and, secondly, because the logo of this foundation endorses it.
The logo display will help guide consumer decisions and help increase cross-sector awareness on the issue of forced labor, encouraging more companies to take similar steps to address unfair and illegal labor practices in their own supply chains.
The person in charge of collecting this award was Angela Ahrendts who assured that his department is working so that women taken out of exploitation and trafficking can be integrated into jobs in the Big Apple itself, especially in third-party retails. Angela assured that the process would be completely confidential, although they were going to monitor the entire project.
