Every time a new iPhone or the latest MacBook gets released there is media attention on how fast the new processors are, how sleek the design is, how long the batteries last, and how much detail the camera captures. Rarely the attention focusses on the intricate supply chains of these products and the human rights violations which are hidden behind a corporate veil. In this modern age the world has become one global village, where everything is interlinked. In turn, big cooperations have spread their influence beyond state borders and operate in multiple different countries, taking advantage of resources and labour that are cheaper and more easily accessible in contrast to their home states. Many countries of production are located in the global south, since there is less oversight on working conditions and fair wages (Pickles and Zhu 2). For instance, the United States are the largest economy in the world (in nominal GDP) and are consequently the home of many multinational enterprises (MNEs) and a large consumer market. The state of California, which is a hub for innovation, is home to many tech giants such as Apple Inc, Alphabet Inc or Meta. All of these multi billion dollar companies have their headquarters located in California. Since these MNEs operate in multiple countries and have access to resources and workers around the world, their supply chains are very complex and extend all over the world.
