Apple has set out a plan to become carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle, over the next ten years.
The technology giant said it had also secured commitments from over 70 suppliers to use 100% renewable energy for Apple production — equivalent to nearly 8 gigawatts in commitments to power the manufacturing of its products.
