Environmental Watchdog Report Calls Apple To Task For Violations
The ever-volatile issue of the costs surrounding globalized manufacturing looks to be looming again as a harshly critical report on Apple's Chinese suppliers gains visibility. The report, by environmental NGO the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE), is the sequel to another they released in January entitled "The Other Side of Apple." With the ominous title it's clear what their intention is, and while there is a certain slant to the presentation, the facts highlighted are too salient to ignore.I have written about our conscious abdication of moral responsibility for our purchases (Our Great Sin), but the IPE report resurrects the question of corporate responsibility in an era of increasing transparency.Should we, and can we, hold Apple and others like it to account for the transgressions of those with whom it does business?Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/QFyXmBRGg0g/
