I do think huge companies should take a stance on social justice issues, as they have a lot of power...

Both can be done, but the things you stated are the minimum, not optional, if they care about humans at all.

Fair and safe working conditions first. Duh.

Then enabling equality in access and participation. Apple is enforcing the social status quo, if they uphold economic entry barriers. Gender and race issues are important, but for the most part they manifest as class issues. Much safer and easier to become an iOS developer, if you're a white dude, than a black woman. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you can't afford a Mac for development or the AppStore license.

So doing both is important, but without tidying up your own yard, it's all just green washing a dirty white collar.
