"We hold our suppliers accountable to the highest
standards in the industry and regularly conduct assessments to ensure
compliance…we found that some of the remote dormitory accommodations and dining
rooms being used for employees do not meet our requirements and we are working
with the supplier to ensure a comprehensive set of corrective actions are
rapidly implemented,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson said that the company will ensure its
strict standards are met before the facility reopens. “We will continue to
monitor conditions closely.”
Earlier this month, protests erupted after more than 250
women who work at the Foxconn plant that makes iPhones in Sriperumbudur town,
near the southern city of Chennai, and live in one of the dormitories had to be
treated for food poisoning.
Production at the Taiwanese contract manufacturing giant's
plant was halted on Dec 18.
