Apple helps suppliers rapidly accelerate renewable energy use around the world In April 2022, Apple announced that its suppliers more than doubled their use of clean power over the last year, with over 10 gigawatts operational today out of nearly 16 gigawatts in total commitments in the coming years. In 2021, these renewable projects avoided 13.9 million metric tons of carbon emissions. The projects online today will support greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing 3 million cars from the road for one year. Apple is constantly working with its global supply chain to accelerate and support its transition to clean energy. As of March 2022, 213 of the company’s major manufacturing partners have pledged to power all Apple production with renewable electricity across 25 countries. The dozens of new commitments announced this year will accelerate progress toward Apple’s 2030 goal to become carbon neutral across its entire supply chain. U.S., China, India, and Vietnam, more than 100,000 supplier employees will participate in new learning opportunities by 2023 — from leadership training and technical certifications, to classes on coding, robotics, and advanced manufacturing fundamentals. Internal leadership and technical programs We work consistently to provide meaningful educational opportunities that enrich supplier employees’ workplace experiences and provide opportunities to improve career paths. Over the past five years, more than 5000 students have participated in our Line Leader, Automation Technician, and general apprenticeship programs. These programs give participants the skills they need to pursue opportunities in highly technical roles. In 2021, 5883 supplier employees at 18 supplier sites participated in technical training, including programs on robotics, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines, and mobile device repair. Coding Since 2017, we’ve offered training to supplier employees on Apple’s Swift coding language — a skill that is in high demand. In 2021, we continued to build on feedback from students and suppliers to refine our curriculum by adding more opportunities for virtual learning while maintaining the quality and consistency of the programs. Environment Human rights and environmental protection are inextricably linked. And we’re taking action accordingly. As we build products that enrich the lives of people around the world, we have a profound responsibility to do so in a way that minimizes our resource use while protecting the local environments and communities where we and our suppliers operate. We work with our suppliers to help us address our environmental commitments, including our goal to become carbon neutral by 2030 across our entire product footprint. Our Supplier Energy Efficiency Program and Supplier Clean Energy Program both address direct and indirect emissions in our supply chain, while our Supplier Clean Water and Zero Waste programs help to reduce resource usage. In addition, our Code contains strict environmental protections, which require our suppliers to understand and take active steps to reduce their environmental impact while also becoming better stewards of the resources we all share and the communities in which we operate. Specifically, our Code addresses the management of regulated substances, stormwater, wastewater, air emissions, waste, and noise, as well as pollution prevention, resource reduction, and obtaining necessary environmental permits. More detail about our environment work in the supply chain is covered on page 13 , as well as in People and Environment in Our Supply Chain Report and the Environmental Progress Report .
