Apple Spends $2.5bn On Environmental Initiatives To Top Its Clean Energy Goal

Apple will exceed its goal of bringing four gigawatts of renewable energy into its supply chain by 2020, with over an additional gigawatt projected within that timeframe. Tech giant Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) revealed that it has nearly doubled the number of suppliers that have committed to run their Apple production on 100% clean energy, bringing the total number to 44. This announcement comes one year after Apple revealed that all of its global facilities are powered by 100% renewable energy. “Every time one of our suppliers joins us in our efforts to address climate change, we move closer to a better future for the next generation,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives. “We’ve made it a priority to hold our suppliers accountable to the same environmental standards we observe and hope that our collaboration will show others what is possible.
