Apple supplier requirements
What Apple requires
Suppliers are required to manage and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all operations, maintaining an inventory of emissions from facilities associated with Apple products. Suppliers must set reduction targets, monitor progress, and report emissions data to Apple annually. Compliance with local regulations is mandatory, and designated individuals are responsible for managing emissions data and initiatives.
Apple mandates a shift to clean energy sources and aims for carbon neutrality by 2030, requiring suppliers to implement and document emission reduction plans accordingly.
