Apple we all know that it is more than a company. The projects it has apart from selling technological devices are quite a number and different in terms of their purposes. We are clear about Apple's objectives. Privacy, defense of minority rights of course investment in renewable energy. It is a company that wants to leave its mark on the earth, but not on the climate. The company has invested so far almost 5.000 million to change things.
Almost 50000 billion is what Apple has invested in not leaving a polluting footprint in the world
Apple takes the use of renewable energy. We already know many of the work that he has done in this regard. Both in the Apple Park, that it has been built 100% using this type of clean energy, as in the manufacturing process of its devices it is tried and achieved not to use polluting elements. In addition, very modern machines are used in order to disarm the devices that already exist and to be able to recycle them almost entirely.
All these projects are only the tip of the iceberg. Like them, the most important or greatest is not seen. The Californian company has been investing a lot of money in green projects in order to be able to leave a mark on the planet, but not a polluting or irreversible footprint. She wants others to learn from her, she wants clean energy be your main asset.
Last year, Apple financed more than 17 projects, resulting in the reduction of nearly 1 million metric tons of carbon emissions globally, equivalent to taking 200.000 cars off the road, according to Apple. Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, says the company is dedicated to seeking investments to promote clean energy.
We all have a responsibility to do everything we can to combat the impacts of climate change, and our investment of $ 4.700 billion from the proceeds of our Green Bond sales is an important driver in our efforts. As a last resort, clean energy is good business.
In addition to its investment in clean energy, Apple has also allocated $ 2.800 billion to research and fund new projects that "support low-carbon design and engineering, energy efficiency, renewable energy, carbon mitigation, and carbon removal." The investments add to Apple's commitment last year to become a fully carbon neutral across your business by 2030.
The latest Green Bond report details everything Apple has done for the planet
In its Green Bond 2020 impact report, Apple has detailed its latest energy projects that not only benefit the company, but boost the local community in some cases. Apple's projects, when completed, will generate 1,2 gigawatts of renewable energy globally. In the last year, Apple has brought 350 megawatts of renewable energy online in Nevada, Illinois, Virginia and Denmark.
In Nevada, Apple's 180-acre site located within the Reno Tech Park now provides power to Nevada's data center. The site delivers 50 megawatts of power, and Apple now has three facilities in Nevada, generating 270 megawatts.
It also has a wind farm on the outskirts of Chicago. Himself is Apple's source for a 112 megawatt purchase. In Fredericksburg, Virginia, Apple worked with Etsy, Akamai, and SwissRE to support the development of a solar photovoltaic project that delivers 165 megawatts of power.
All this makes the company a role model. It shows that the use of technologies is not incompatible with a clean and healthy environment. Apple becomes a benchmark. If all the others made similar models, it is likely that the world would be a much more comfortable place to live without having to worry about pollution rates which so dangerous they are.
