Now – he says – that although initially in difficulty, today his suppliers all over the world use 13.7 gigawatts of renewable energy: we are talking about over 250 suppliers in 28 countries, which correspond to approximately 85% of the entire production, pledged to completely eliminate carbon use within the next seven years.
At Apple, we are carbon neutral to our operations and innovate every day to go even further with the urgency of tackling climate change.
We are adding even more renewable energy to power our supply chain by investing in next-generation green technologies.
The scope of this challenge is immense – Cook insists, «but so is our determination to face it». One such move announced in March last year sees the use of low-carbon aluminum to build the iPhone SE, and today Apple says it is investing in solar on a large scale.
The latest results and Apple’s 2030 goal
In the last year alone, more than 40 partners have joined Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy program, which aims to identify carbon reductions by providing free learning resources and live training in its Clean Energy Academy.
The new commitments with suppliers would demonstrate how rapidly we are progressing towards the carbon free goal for 2030 – explains Lisa Jackson, vice president for environmental and social policies: «we are undertaking urgent actions all over the world for a greener, more innovative and resilient”.
In the US there are already 27 companies that are part of the program, such as Bemis Associates which has already achieved 100% renewable energy for everything related to production related to Apple, while Coherent Corp is approaching this figure also through entering into energy purchase agreements for solar and wind projects to be used in the USA.
Apple says it has already disbursed more than $3.2 billion of the $4.7 billion planned for green bonds, with the idea that at least 59 of the projects supported since 2019 “will mitigate more than 13.5 million tons of carbon dioxide carbon dioxide» in their lifetime. Among them is funding for the IP Radian Solar project, which recently went live in Brown County, Texas.
