Apple 2030

Weā€™ve reduced our emissions by over 60%

This milestone brings us closer than ever to Apple 2030: Our ambition to become carbon neutral across our global footprint by using more recycled materials, renewable electricity, and lower‑carbon transportation.

Weā€™ve committed to reducing our emissions by 75% compared with our 2015 baseline, with the remaining 25% being addressed through high‑quality carbon removal projects that protect and restore natural ecosystems.
