Apple Inc.

Apple designs consumer electronic devices, including smartphones (iPhone), tablets (iPad), PCs (Mac), smartwatches (Watch) and TV boxes (Apple TV), as well as a variety of services like Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple Pay. Apple's products run internally developed software, and we believe this integration of hardware, software, and services often allows the firm to maintain premium pricing for its devices. Apple's products are distributed online as well as through company-owned stores and third-party retailers.

Apple and the Environment

Climate change is undeniable. Earth’s resources won’t last forever. And technology must be safe for people to make and use. We don’t question these realities — we challenge ourselves to ask what we can do about them in every part of our business.

Can we power a global business with the sun, wind, and water?

We know we can. That’s why 100 percent of the electricity we use to power our data centers, and 96 percent used by our facilities worldwide, comes from energy sources like solar, hydro, and wind power. So every time you send an iMessage or ask Siri a question, it’s powered by renewable energy.

Can we get 100% of our supply chain to move to 100% renewable energy?

We sure hope so. As a start, we’ve committed to helping our suppliers bring 4 gigawatts of renewable power online by 2020. In case you’re wondering, that’s 4 billion watts.

Can we one day stop mining the earth altogether?

It sounds crazy, but we’re working on it. We’re moving toward a closed-loop supply chain. One day we’d like to be able to build new products with just recycled materials, including your old products.

Can we use only 100% recycled and responsibly sourced paper in our packaging?

We can. We’ve reached more than 99 percent so far. We’re sourcing virgin paper responsibly, protecting sustainable forests, and making iPhone 7 boxes from responsibly managed paper, bamboo, and waste sugarcane.

Can we improve on the world’s best materials?

Yes. Our chemists are busy making the materials in our products even safer. They use laser-induced breakdown spectrometers like ones on the Mars rovers to double-check their work.
