Apple has always been respectful of the environment. It is not just an advertising whim, but a constant obsession so that the impact of obtaining raw materials, production and distribution of your devices is the minimum possible in the ecosystem of our planet.
Apple has already received an award from the UN for being 100% carbon neutral in the sale and distribution of its devices, and now it has insisted that its suppliers are also, and thus obtain this certificate throughout the supply chain of its devices.
Apple has been working on improving the environmental impact of its supply chain since 2015, and whose vice president Lisa Jackson it already announced a breakthrough and a new crash plan last year.
Jackson said his commitment included promoting the use of recycled materials and recycling discarded products so that the carbon neutrality applies to the full life cycle of all Apple products.
Apple's own operations have been 100% carbon neutral for more than two years, and received an award from the UN for it, but the company today made a bold commitment to have this certificate applied throughout its supply chain to 2030. Apple has just announced this project on the home page of its websites, calling it «A planetary scale plan«.
Apple just marked a roadmap to 10 years seen, so that the entire supply chain of your devices is 100% carbon neutral with zero impact on climate change.
To achieve this objective, a action plan which includes the following commitments
- Design of products low carbon: Apple will continue to increase the use of recycled and low-carbon materials in its products, innovate in product recycling, and design products to be as energy efficient as possible.
- Expansion of the Energy Efficiency Apple will identify new ways to reduce energy use at its corporate facilities and help its supply chain make the same transition.
- Renewable energy: Apple will consume 100 percent renewable energy for its operations, focusing on creating new projects and moving its entire supply chain to clean energy.
- Innovations in processes and materials: Apple will address emissions through technological improvements in the processes and materials required for its products.
- Carbon removal: Apple is investing in forests and other nature-based solutions around the world to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
