11 suppliers in India now part of Apple’s clean energy programme

Apple Wednesday announced that it now has 11 manufacturing sites in India operated by suppliers who have joined its clean energy programme.

Taking another step towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral across its supply chain and products by 2030, the tech giant said another 175 Apple suppliers will transition to using renewable energy, bringing in more than 9 gigawatts of clean power around the world. These actions, an Apple statement said, “will avoid over 18 million metric tons of CO2e annually — the equivalent of taking nearly four million cars off the road each year”.
