SUPPLY CHAIN RESEARCH: IS APPLE Co. FINALLY GETTING AWAY FROM CHILD LABOR/FORCED LABOR SUPPLY CHAIN? IF NOT, CONSIDER BOYCOTTING THEM
You might consider boycotting a company if you want to express disapproval of their actions or force them to change their ways. Boycotts can be effective in protecting the environment and changing business practices.
“Global supply chains are complex, involving multiple tiers of suppliers across countries and regions. This complexity can obscure unethical practices and labor exploitation. ILAB produces and funds research to expose child and forced labor throughout global supply chains, highlighting where risks occur. For companies, this research helps identify and address labor issues within their supply chains. Governments use it to develop more effective policies and regulations to combat labor exploitation, while consumers are able to make more ethical purchasing decisions.” U.S. BUREAU OF INTERNATIONAL LABOR AFFAIRS

These developments have included, among other things, the use of new processing techniques, the creation of new high-capacity cathode materials, the investigation of new sources of lithium, and increased recycling of lithium-ion batteries.” (Cristian Colter, Claudia Pezoa-Fuentes, Jean P Doussoulin, Science Direct)
