Apple announced on Monday that it has asked the Fair Labor Association, an organisation "dedicated to ending sweatshop conditions in factories worldwide", to investigate Foxconn facilities in Shenzhen and Chengdu, China.
The first inspections began on Monday in the Shenzhen factory known as Foxconn City.
"We believe that workers everywhere have the right to a safe and fair work environment, which is why we've asked the FLA to independently assess the performance of our largest suppliers," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said in a statement. "The inspections now underway are unprecedented in the electronics industry, both in scale and scope, and we appreciate the FLA agreeing to take the unusual step of identifying the factories in their reports."
