China Environmental Groups Say Apple's Not Green
China’s environmentalists are becoming masters at the name-and-shame tactics pioneered by western non-governmental organizations. What’s less clear is to what degree, in a country where environmental abuse is still pervasive, those named in such efforts are really shamed.
In the latest example, a coalition of environmental groups in China that are campaigning for technology companies to investigate failures to meet environmental and labor standards in their supply chains has singled Apple, saying in its most recent report that the company has ignored its calls for action.
The 26-page Chinese-language report, released Thursday, names several companies whose practices have been called into question that it says are suspected of being part of Apple’s supply chain.
