中国环保组织批评苹果代工厂的污染
中国，北京（CNN）-- 苹果为其在中国的代工厂受到了污染环境的批评而进行辩护。
在一份名为“苹果的另一面之二”的调查报告中，一个中国的NGO环保组织详尽的解释了由苹果在中国的生产链造成的污染问题，这些公司组装iPhone和iPad所需的零件。
这份46页的报告中提供的污染图显示，苹果有超过已经证实的以及部分未证实的疑似代工厂20多家，此外，还提供了照片和解说用以指证苹果给当地生态和社区带来的损失。
本周三，在一份回复该环保组织的E-mail中，苹果公司表示“苹果致力于确保整条供应链的高度社会责任感。”苹果表示，这些代工厂的业务遵守采用“对环境友好的制造工艺”。
非政府组织（NGO)还制作了一个视频，并上传到了Ku6网上，Ku6是一个在中国很受欢迎的视频分享网站。这个视频显示了一条布满了黄色物质的小河，据了解，这些污染物是附近的两家工厂排出的，其中一家疑似是苹果的代工厂。
带头发起调查报告的公共和环境事务研究所的创办人和主席马军表示：“我们希望苹果面对现实。订单越多，那么它所带来的污染问题就更多。”
苹果指出，报告中提到的供应商名单与事实有“差异”，苹果还提议与发起这份报告的非政府组织进行“私下交流”，该研究所接受了这一提议。
马军表示：“这是进步，我们表示欢迎，我们今年初给苹果发去了不同的污染报告，但是未收到回应。”
苹果在中国受到了广泛的欢迎。之前，苹果新任CEO提摩西·库克（Tim Cook）声称该公司今年第三季度在大中华区的收益接近8.8亿美元，年初至今的收益（YTD）增加超过6倍。

Beijing, China (CNN) -- Apple has defended itself against allegations its suppliers in China committed environmental violations.
In a report, "The Other Side of Apple II," a coalition of Chinese non-governmental environmental organizations detailed alleged pollution caused by Apple's supply chains in China, among those companies handling iPhone and iPad parts.
The 46-page report provided maps showing more than 20 suspected and confirmed Apple suppliers, as well as photos and descriptions of the alleged damage caused to local environments and communities.
"Apple is committed to ensuring the highest standards of social responsibility throughout our supply chain," Apple said in an e-mail reply Wednesday to the organizations making the allegations. Apple said the companies it does business with "use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes."
The NGOs also produced a video and posted on ku6.com, a popular Chinese video-sharing website. The video shows a small river with a yellow hue, allegedly polluted from the discharge of two companies nearby, one of them a suspected Apple supplier.
"We hope Apple will face the reality. The more its business grows, the more pollution it will cause," said Ma Jun, director and founder of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, which spearheaded the report.
Apple said there are "discrepancies" in the list of suppliers mentioned in the report and suggested a "private conference call" with the NGOs behind the report, a move that the Institute accepted.
"This is progress, and we welcome it," said Ma. "We sent a different pollution report to Apple earlier this year, but received no response."
Apple is widely popular in China. Earlier this year Apple's new CEO Tim Cook said the company's revenue in greater China reached $8.8 billion as of Q3 this year, a more than sixfold increase in year-to-date revenue. |
