蘋果供應鏈爭議:剖析剛果礦產問題




剛果律師表示蘋果的供應鏈聲明必須被核實

巴黎(路透社)- 剛果民主共和國的國際律師對蘋果(NASDAQ:AAPL)決定停止從當地採購礦物的行動表示歡迎,原因是當地衝突加劇,但他們表示將在歐洲繼續對該公司提起訴訟。

本周,剛果律師代表剛果對蘋果的子公司在法國和比利時提起了刑事控訴,指控這家科技公司在其供應鏈中使用衝突礦物。

剛果是錫、鉭和鎢的主要來源,這些被稱為3T礦物的資源被用於電腦和手機。然而,聯合國專家和人權團體指出,一些小型礦場由涉及大屠殺、強姦和其他罪行的武裝團體運營。

蘋果在周二表示,強烈反對這些指控,並告訴供應商必須停止使用來自剛果或盧旺達的相關礦物。

代表剛果的律師在周三表示,他們對蘋果的聲明表示「滿意和謹慎」。

律師在給路透社的聲明中說:「蘋果關於供應鏈變更的聲明必須在現場進行核實,並提供事實和數據支持。」

「蘋果的聲明並未改變過去及其所聲稱的犯罪行為,」他們補充道,並表示現在由法國和比利時的法官來裁定此案。

目前,這兩個國家的檢方尚未對此事發表評論。

供應商被指示

律師們認為,蘋果使用了從剛果掠奪的礦物,並通過國際供應鏈進行洗錢,這使其在剛果發生的罪行中成為同謀。

蘋果不直接採購主要礦物,並表示會對供應商進行審計,並公布結果,還資助尋求改善礦物可追溯性的機構。

蘋果在周二的聲明中指出:「隨著今年初該地區衝突的升級,我們通知供應商,他們的冶煉廠和精煉廠必須暫停從剛果和盧旺達採購錫、鉭、鎢和金。」但並未說明何時通知供應商。

「我們之所以採取這項行動,是因為我們擔心獨立審計員或行業認證機制不再能夠執行所需的盡職調查,以滿足我們的高標準。」

蘋果表示,其手機和電腦中大多數相關礦物是回收的。

自90年代以來,剛果東部的礦業重鎮一直受到武裝團體之間衝突的摧殘,部分武裝團體受到鄰國盧旺達的支持,與剛果軍方對抗。

數百萬平民死於這場衝突並被迫流離失所。

根據聯合國專家和人權組織的說法,對礦物的競爭是衝突的主要驅動力,武裝團體利用出口收益維持生計並購買武器,這些出口通常會通過盧旺達走私。盧旺達則否認從中獲益。

這一事件突顯了全球供應鏈中潛在的道德和法律責任,尤其是涉及到資源開採和使用衝突礦物的問題。隨著消費者對企業社會責任的關注日益增加,企業需要更加謹慎地對待其供應鏈的透明度和道德性。蘋果的聲明雖然是朝著正確方向邁出的一步,但在未來的執行和監管上,仍需持續的關注與核實,以確保不再助長任何形式的衝突和不公。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection. An ultra-realistic photograph of an Asian woman in the reference image, faithfully replicating my face and maintaining it 100%. A woman with a perfectly sculpted hourglass figure stands on the sand at sunset. She wears a white string bikini, measuring,+++ accentuating her curves with a well-defined waist, hips, and toned figure. Her skin is fair, smooth, and radiant.

She stands next to a large, ornate gold-framed mirror, perched upright on the sand, fully revealing her reflection. The reflection clearly emphasizes her silhouette, curves, and body proportions.

The lighting is cinematic and stunning, creating soft highlights on her skin and sharp shadow contrasts that enhance the shape of her waist, hips, and legs.

The background features a dusk sky with sunset tones of deep blue, purple, and orange, gentle clouds, and the silhouettes of palm trees.

A fierce young boy with short, curly hair stands in an action pose, reaching his hand forward as if unleashing a powerful psychic force. Bright orange energy radiates from his outstretched hand, illuminating her determined expression. he wears a patterned shirt reminiscent of 1980s fashion. Dark, monstrous creatures with elongated limbs and sharp teeth surround his, emerging from swirling smoke and fiery cracks in the environment. The entire scene glows with dramatic orange and red lightning-like streaks, creating an intense, supernatural atmosphere.
