Apple's Decarbonization Efforts Attract More Participants

---

Apple has announced that more suppliers have promised to use carbon-conscious energy. This announcement came after Apple stated that its iPhone and computers will be entirely carbon-neutral by 2030. Over 250 suppliers have pledged to support 13.7 gigawatts of energy that is entirely renewable, which is more than a 30% increase from the previous year. Over 85% of Apple's direct manufacturing spending relies on vendor involvement. Apple is committed to using 100% renewable energy across its global operations, including its offices, retail stores, data centers, and manufacturing facilities.

The company has made significant investments in renewable energy projects and has set ambitious goals to reduce its carbon footprint and combat climate change. Apple has invested in a range of renewable energy projects around the world, including solar and wind farms, and has signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) to ensure a reliable supply of renewable energy for its operations. Apple has built several large-scale solar and wind projects, including a 1,300-acre solar farm in California, and has developed innovative renewable energy technologies, such as a biogas fuel cell system that converts waste into electricity. Apple has also incorporated energy-efficient design features into its products, such as low-power processors and OLED displays, to reduce their energy consumption and environmental impact. Through these efforts, Apple has made significant progress toward its goal of using 100% renewable energy across its operations. As of 2021, the company reported that 96% of its facilities were powered by renewable energy, and it continues to work toward achieving its goal of 100% renewable energy by 2030.
