Apple Says Foxconn’s Actions on Suicides Saved Further Lives

Apple Inc., whose supplier Foxconn Technology Group was hit by a series of employee suicides last year, said a quick response by the Taiwanese assembler helped prevent further deaths.

Apple commissioned a review by a team of suicide-prevention experts after the worker deaths, and in August presented its findings to senior executives from both companies, including Foxconn founder and Chairman Terry Gou, according to Apple’s annual Supplier Responsibility report.
