Case Study: Apple's Approach to Net-Zero
By 2030, Apple will not meet the Net Zero Standard, which requires a 95% reduction in emissions with the remaining 5% mitigated through carbon removals. Instead, Apple targets a 62% reduction (vs a 2019 base year) in scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and to use 100% renewable energy. The remaining 38% of emissions are mitigated by carbon removals. Nevertheless, the 2030 targets are ambitious, but how does the company intend to meet these goals, and how can other companies follow suit to actualize their own Net-Zero targets? In this article, we explore Apple's climate change plans and their approach to Net-Zero.
