Once again Apple offers news that is not directly related to technology. This time we return to the issue of ecology within the company. Apple wants to be the first company that does not emit any carbon in 2030 and for this it must respect the consumption of fresh water. That is why its adherence to the Alliance for Water Stewardship (alliance of the Water Administration).
The partnership between Apple and Alliance for Water Stewardship is based on Apple's "Clean Water Project," which planned to save a total of 156,3 million cubic meters of freshwater resources by 2020, and is part of Apple's goal of achieving a 100% carbon neutrality at all times.
Apple wants to be a company Respectful with the environment, not only through advertising but with facts. Not only is it carbon neutral right now, it wants to eliminate it completely by 2030. Also has alliances with other organizations that help these goals.
The Alliance for Water Stewardship was created with the idea of establishing a water security that enables people, cultures, businesses and nature to flourish, now and in the future. The alliance is formed by companies, NGOs and the public sector, in order to achieve the sustainability of local water resources by adopting and promoting a universal framework for the sustainable use of water.
That's where Apple comes in, being one of those companies that are contributing to that end. The Californian company and the alliance will continue to invest in Chinese industries and around the world. Last year, the number of Apple supply chain partners that received Alliance for Water Stewardship certifications increased from 5 to 13.
The organization certifies Apple's supply chains through a comprehensive assessment by an independent auditor to confirm whether they meet the alliance's standards for responsible water management. XuShenzhen, Asia-Pacific Project Director, Alliance for Water Stewardship:
We are excited to see more and more companies in Apple's supply chain participating in our certification program, which demonstrates the impact and strength of our cooperation with Apple to promote world-class water management. True water management requires collaboration and leadership. Apple continues to raise the bar for itself and companies in the supply chain, setting an example for the entire industry.
