The Apple Alliance
The Apple Alliance is NOT part of the psychomagic act, it is a sincere endeavor for tangible a change.
What is the Apple Alliance?
The Apple Alliance is a working group and network committed to reshaping Apple Inc. and ensuring the well-being of all its stakeholders.
With a diverse group of stakeholders, we can ensure that Apple is driving positive change that benefits everyone, including communities the company has historically ignored and exploited.
The urgency of this transition cannot be overstated. Our planet faces a state of overshoot, surpassing its capacity to mitigate human impact. Scarce natural resources are straining under the demands of a multitude of electronic manufacturers, while income inequality forces a global workforce to perform dangerous mining and manufacturing jobs to meet product demand.

Apple stakeholders represent a broad range of individuals and entities who are affected by or have an interest in Apple's actions.
