Apple says 175 suppliers committed to using clean energy

Apple on Wednesday said it has more than doubled the number of suppliers committed to using clean energy to 175 globally in the last one year, including those from India, as part of the technology major’s aim to become carbon neutral across its supply chain and products by 2030. In total, 175 Apple suppliers will transition to using renewable energy. The company and its suppliers will bring online more than 9 gigawatts of clean power around the world. This is up from 75 suppliers enrolled last year.

These actions will avoid over 18 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually – the equivalent of taking over 4 million cars off the road each year.
