Apple today announced that more than 250 suppliers have committed to using renewable energy for all Apple manufacturing by 2030. Apple said its manufacturing partners now support more than 13 gigawatts of renewable electricity, a nearly 30% increase over the past year.
Apple is committed to its goal of being carbon neutral for every product it makes by 2030 and is committing $4.7 billion in Green Bonds to help finance the expansion of clean energy solutions and emissions reductions around the world.
“At Apple, we’re carbon neutral in our own operations, and we’re innovating every day to take the urgent work of climate change even further,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook. “With partners around the world, we are adding more renewable energy to power our global supply chain and investing in the next generation of green technologies. The scale of this challenge is enormous, but so is our determination to meet it.”
