Copper, like cobalt, is also an important metal in the making of smartphones. How should a company like Apple respond to learning about such an environmental mining disaster at a copper mine from which the company acquires material? Explain.

Answer: I think Apple should learn about the health and risk factors of copper mining. If Apple gets copper from a mine that had a disaster, they should do their best to try and help take care of the workers that got injured. Also, the companies need the copper and other things they use in phones, but they need to make sure they are using it and mining it safely apple sources needed materials like copper, which it is being able to be sourced. This means that apple certainly is not just the only company to need the same material. I also think it depends on the policy. because if the workers and staff are safe then I think it's fine. if not, then they need to educate themselves on the process of mining copper and the company should educate themselves
