More than 200 Apple suppliers committed to using only clean power

As Apple manufacturing partners expand their use of renewable energy around the world, Apple is also investing directly in renewable energy, including the IP Radian Solar project — a new large-scale solar project under construction now in Brown County, Texas.

In 2021, these renewable projects avoided 13.9 million metric tons of carbon emissions. The projects online today will support greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing 3 million cars from the road for one year.

Apple says it’s constantly working with its global supply chain to accelerate and support its transition to clean energy. As of today, 213 of the company’s major manufacturing partners have pledged to power all Apple production with renewable electricity across 25 countries. 

The dozens of new commitments announced today will accelerate progress toward Apple’s 2030 goal to become carbon neutral across its entire supply chain, according to the tech giant. Apple has been carbon neutral for its global operations since 2020.

“We are proud that so many of our manufacturing partners have joined our urgent work to address the climate crisis by generating more renewable energy around the world,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, in the announcement (which you can read for details). “Clean energy is good for business and good for the planet. By sharing what we learned in our own transition to renewables, we are helping point the way to a greener future.”
