9to5Mac reports that Apple’s SVP and General Counsel Bruce Sewell has sent out an email to employees urging them to review Apple’s Business Conduct Policy, and to comply with the rules.
The document describes how Apple employees should conduct themselves with customers, business partners, government agencies, and fellow employees.
The email talks about Apple’s core values of “honesty, respect, confidentiality, and the critical obligation of every Apple employee to adhere to legal principles, like antitrust and anti-corruption laws.”
The email included an updated version of Apple’s Business Conduct Policy in iBooks format. The email also includes a link to a video from Apple’s Tim Cook, where he talks about the company’s values.
As Dr. Martin Luther King once said, the time is always right to do what’s right. At Apple, we do the right thing. Even when it’s not easy. If you see something that doesn’t meet our standards, speak up. Whether it’s a quality issue or a business practice, if it affects Apple’s integrity, we need to know about it.
9to5Mac had also managed to get their hands on the video, and had uploaded it to YouTube. It has however been taken down. It is not clear if the email and video was prompted by an incident.
Last year, Tim Cook had said that the company will be doubling down on secrecy on products. However, that hasn’t really stopped the product leaks.
It’s ironic that the email that tells employees to keep things confidential, also got leaked.
