Apple says over 200 of its suppliers have more than doubled their use of clean power over the last year

Apple has announced that its suppliers have more than doubled their use of clean power over the last year, with over 10 gigawatts operational today out of nearly 16 gigawatts in total commitments in the coming years. According to the Cupertino-based tech giant, these renewable projects avoided 13.9 million metric tons of carbon emissions in 2021.
Apple says that it is 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. Apple has been carbon neutral for its global operations since 2020.
In addition to clean energy commitments made by 213 manufacturing partners, Apple says that it is investing directly in renewable projects around the world, including nearly 500 megawatts of solar and other renewable projects in China and Japan to cover a portion of upstream emissions.
