Apple Inc. said the Fair Labor Association began auditing supplier Foxconn Technology Group’s plants in China, its first inspections in an effort to respond to criticism of conditions for workers making its gadgets.
Assessments will take about two weeks and include at least four campuses in China, Louis Woo, chairman of Foxconn’s retail unit and a spokesman for the Taipei-based company, said in a phone interview today. More than 10 association representatives are now at two factories in Shenzhen and others in Chengdu and Zhengzhou, he said.
