According to Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer:

In everything we do, people come first. We are constantly raising our bar and that of our suppliers because we are committed to the people who make our products possible, as well as to the planet we all share.

This year, we are proud to give more people the opportunity to advance their education. Working alongside our suppliers, we are challenging ourselves to find new ways to keep our planet healthier for future generations.

Our goal has always been to not only drive progress in our supply chain, but to drive significant change across the industry.

Thanks to Apple's clean water program, the 116 suppliers have managed to save almost 30.000 million liters of water, about 7.600 million gallons of water, in 2018, which is equivalent to one gallon for every person on the planet.
