Producing computer hardware
An investigative report on labour conditions in the supply chain of the ICT sector in the Philippines
In 2005, SOMO (Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations) conducted a research concerning the Corporate Social Responsibility issue in the information and Communication Technology sector of electronics industry. In August to October 2006, a study on factories producing computer hardware and parts was conducted in the Philippines as part of follow-up research of SOMO on the supply chain of the ICT sector. SOMO’s objective in conducting the study is to raise awareness on the environmental, human and regulation problems in the ICT sector, particularly on the production of computer hardware or parts and components of the hard disk drive. Studies carried out by SOMO aim to widen the campaign base in the ICT hardware sector in Europe and, elsewhere, to provide information for campaigns and to lobby on improving conditions in the ICT supply chain.
