Our approach Our values flow through the technology we make, the way we make it, and how we care for people and the planet we share. These values — accessibility, education, environment, inclusion and diversity, privacy, and supplier responsibility — are central to our ESG approach. And we go further to address a comprehensive set of critical issues that matter to our company and to our stakeholders. From our commitment to human rights to our 2030 environmental goals, ESG topics are deeply interconnected. We can make the biggest impact only when we understand how these issues relate to one another. ESG priorities are managed across Apple, and our senior leaders play an important role in integrating ESG into functions across the company. We listen to stakeholders — including our people, suppliers, communities, shareholders, and other external groups — to understand the issues they care about. And we measure our ESG progress across our business so that we can work toward being more transparent with each year. Above all, we’re always working to leave the world better than we found it, and to create powerful tools that empower others to do the same. Since 2018, Apple sources all of the electricity for its facilities from 100 percent renewable energy. The Montague Wind Farm in Oregon is one of Apple’s largest projects at 200 megawatts and powers Apple’s Prineville data center. Environment We’ve been carbon neutral for our own operations since 2020, including business travel and employee commute, and are progressing toward an urgent goal to be carbon neutral across our entire business — including the full life cycle of our products — by 2030. We’re on an ambitious journey to one day make our products using only recycled or renewable materials. We design our products to be safe for anyone who assembles, uses, or recycles them — and to be better for the environment. At the same time, we’re partnering with communities and local leaders and working to make sure our environmental efforts are also a force for equity and justice.
