Introduction Climate Change Resources Smarter Chemistry Engagement and Advocacy Appendix 2023 Environmental Progress Report 10 Our 10-year Climate Roadmap addresses Apple’s Explore all solutions: Reaching our 2030 carbon goal Support underrepresented communities: Low-income carbon footprint through five pillars: will require scaling proven solutions that are available and historically marginalized communities too often today, as well as exploring the solutions of the future. This bear the brunt of the effects of climate change. So we’re includes facilitating the development of new technologies, pursuing ways to directly support these communities like direct carbon-free aluminum smelting, adopting novel in our climate program — like with the Apple Impact financial approaches such as the Apple Restore Fund, Accelerator, which aims to bolster equity and foster advancing policies that support a low-carbon economy, opportunity for Black-, Hispanic/Latinx-, and Indigenous- and continuing to invest in research and development to owned businesses in the environmental sector. We’re enable decarbonizing our products by 2030. advocating for greater access to clean energy, and we’re Low-carbon Energy Clean Direct Carbon investing in renewable energy projects in emerging design efficiency electricity emissions removal Be open: We’re committed to disclosing our carbon markets. And our carbon removal projects often benefit abatement footprint as well as our climate strategy and progress. the livelihoods of local and Indigenous communities. By sharing our approach, we aim to send clear signals to Design products and Increase energy efficiency Transition our entire Reduce direct greenhouse In parallel with our others and invite them to work with us. We also hope to manufacturing processes at our facilities and in our product value chain — gas emissions in our emissions reduction empower our peers in their pursuit of carbon neutrality to be less carbon-intensive supply chain by finding including manufacturing facilities and our supply efforts, scale up and engage investors through financing options, such as through thoughtful opportunities to reduce and our customers’ use chain through process investments in carbon green bonds. This means sharing both challenges and material selection, energy use, such as of our products — to innovation, emissions removal projects, including successes. Our annual Environmental Progress Reports, increased material retrofitting outdated or 100 percent clean abatement, and moving nature - based solutions as well as our response to the global disclosure nonprofit efficiency, and greater inefficient equipment electricity by 2030. away from fossil fuels. that protect and restore CDP, provide details on our progress. product energy efficiency. and systems. ecosystems around the world. >75 percent
