Apple Surpasses Clean Energy Goal with New Supplier Commitments

Apple Inc. has nearly doubled the number of suppliers committed to run the company's production on 100% clean energy to 44. This helps Apple surpass its goal of bringing 4GW of renewable energy into its supply chain by 2020. The company now expects to add 1GW more of renewable energy to its supply chain by next year. The latest announcement comes a year after Apple declared that all 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. While we are proud of our announcement, we won’t stop driving change within our industry to support the clean energy transition happening globally.
