Apple named ‘Best Green Catalyst’ in REI Leadership Awards for renewable energy efforts — Apple World Today

Apple was named the “Best Green Catalyst,” an award that recognizes the best examples of a company engaging suppliers to switch to renewable energy. Here’s what REI100 has to say about Apple: 

Committed to transitioning entire supply chain to 100% renewable electricity by 2030, 71 manufacturing partners in 17 countries signed up to 100% renewable electricity for Apple production – saving over 14.3 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent annually, the equivalent of taking over 3 million cars off the road each year;

Advocates for supportive policies and access to cost-effective renewables in more challenging markets such as the Republic of Korea, Vietnam and Japan.

“Congratulations to all of our RE100 Award winners – by demonstrating what’s possible and how challenges can be overcome, you’re inspiring others and really helping to accelerate a cleaner future,” says Climate Group CEO Helen Clarkson. “We have to halve emissions this decade to be within a fighting chance of reach net zero by 2050. As we work to rebuild greener, stronger economies, we’ll need many more companies to be seizing these golden opportunities.”
