Apple reported significant progress towards its goal to decarbonize its value chain, announcing that the use of renewable electricity by its manufacturing partners increased by nearly 30% in 2022, alongside commitments from dozens of additional suppliers to move to 100% renewable energy for all Apple production. Emissions from the manufacturing supply chain represent more than 70% of Apple’s carbon footprint, with electricity use as the single largest contributor. Addressing these emissions forms a major part of the company’s strategy to achieve its ambition to become carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030, a goal set by the company in 2020.
