苹果has called on its global supply chain partners to take assertive steps towards decarbonization and address greenhouse gas emissions.
The company plans to evaluate the initiatives of its major manufacturing partners to decarbonize their Apple-related operations, including running on 100% renewable electricity and tracking the yearly progress.
The mobile phone manufacturer announced multiple initiatives like investments in European renewable energy projects, business partnerships to support the shift to clean energy, and implementing projects that advance global carbon removal and community-driven solutions.
苹果claims that more than 200 suppliers representing more than 70% of Apple’s direct manufacturing spend, have already committed to using clean power like wind or solar for all of Apple’s production.
苹果公司的首席执行官蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）说：“抗击气候变化仍然是苹果最紧迫的重点之一，像这样的时刻对这些话进行了行动。”
“We’re looking forward to continued partnership with our suppliers to make Apple’s supply chain carbon neutral by 2030. Climate action at Apple doesn’t stop at our doors, and in this work, we’re determined to be a ripple in the pond that creates a bigger change,” he added.
Renewables to Power Apple Devices
苹果声称自2018年以来，它已经采购了可再生能源，可以在44个国家 /地区的所有公司办事处，零售店和数据中心供电，其供应商帮助在全球范围内带来了超过10吉瓦的清洁能源。为此，苹果计划促进欧洲大规模太阳能和风力项目的建设，项目范围为30至300兆瓦。
该公司旨在采购足够的可再生能源，以在未来几年使用低碳电力为大陆上的所有苹果设备供电。预计该公司计划的投资将为电网增加3,000 GWH的新可再生能源。
The European investments are part of the company’s larger strategy to address approximately 22% of its carbon footprint from the electricity customers use to charge their devices. Earlier this year, the company announced new renewable energy projects in the United States and Australia designed to address customer product use.
To help suppliers meet their commitments and go even further, Apple offers free e-learning resources and live training through its Clean Energy Program. It will work closely with its suppliers and local partners to identify effective renewable energy and carbon removal solutions.
Carbon Removal Initiative
苹果通过其Restore Fund宣布了三个新项目，该基金是一项碳清除计划，该计划打算产生财务回报，同时还可以从大气中删除CO2。该公司与国际保护区和高盛（Goldman Sachs）合作，与巴西和巴拉圭的三名高质量林业经理进行投资，恢复了15万英亩的可持续认证的工作森林，并保护约100,000英亩的本地森林，草地和湿地。到2025年，这些项目可能会删除100万吨二氧化碳
To ensure accurate monitoring, reporting, and verification of the projects’ carbon removal impact, Apple is working with partners to analyze satellite imagery and deploy innovative remote sensing technologies.
As Apple intends to reduce emissions by 75% by 2030, the company prioritizes high-quality nature-based solutions for the 25% of remaining emissions that are unavoidable with existing technologies.
去年11月，苹果宣布在过去的一年中，它已承诺使用100％清洁能源的供应商数量增加了一倍以上。
