For today’s “Earth’s Day”, Apple has given the current details on its efforts to reduce the climate atom in its supply chain. Overall, the group now causes 60 percent less emissions worldwide compared to 2015. It is part of a program with which the entire production is finished and suppliers have to be decarbonated by 2030. However, it was already criticized how the group had handed over the German environmental aid (duh) because it is in the form of Apple, which shuts down carbon. A similar lawsuit was filed in the United States in the spring.
25 percent reduction from “carbon credit”
In Apple’s new “Environment Progress Report” Among other things, it means “more clean energy and more recycled materials are now being used more than ever”. Environment chief Lisa Jackson says that you save water and reduce waste “all over the world”. “We also invest great in nature. The closer we get in 2030, the more difficult it will be.” “Challenge with innovations, cooperation and urgency” is contacted.
Nevertheless, Apple will continue to rely on “high quality carbon credit” – ie compensation payment and compensation measures. According to the group, the company’s “real” climate emissions will be reduced by 75 percent by 2030 compared to 2015. The rest – 25 percent – climate compensation must bring, the researcher regularly issues poor certificates. Because: emissions occur and stays in the atmosphere – compensation measures often work later later.
Climate gas from supply chain
Among other things, Apple wants to continue its supply chain supply with green energy. Currently 17.8 GW Akshay is available for electricity. By 2030, the storm should be 100 percent “green” here. In 2024, 21.8 million tonnes of climate gas was already survived, 17 percent more than last year. At the same time, the supply chain was worked on adaptation and energy measures, so that “about 2 million tonnes” did not emit climate gas.
In its report, Apple emphasizes conversion measures in industrial processes. F-GGS-Flooronated climate gas-cutting in the manufacture of flat screens and semiconductors was reduced by 90 percent by 2030. This currently affects 26 of semiconductor suppliers and “100 percent of the direct suppliers of the display”. In 2024, the prepared performance for Apple and a semiconductor is said to have not emitted 8.4 million tonnes of climate gases. “The new obligations will accelerate this progress in the coming years,” Apple said.
At the same time, Apple as possible as Mac, iPhone & Co. Wants to get many components of the recycling material. It includes rare earth and cobalt in the battery. As part of the “zero waste” program for Apple’s suppliers, about 600,000 tonnes of garbage from the landfill is kept away by landfill. Currently “MacBook Air M4 has more than 55 percent recycled materials,” Apple said. Apple has also described the new Mac Mini M4 as “Climate -Sometimes”.
