ANALYSING... APPLE'S ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT
In this particular section we chose Apple Incorporations as our main example of analyzing environmental reports since it is one of the major companies that produce information and communications technologies. The tech giant Apple Incorporations, have come to the realization that throughout the years of producing consumer electronics they too had a massive, not so positive, effect on the environment. During the year 2022, the company outlined in their environmental report of that year that they have made considerable progress thus far.
The company as of today is promising to reach complete carbon neutrality by year 2030. This means, hopefully, that they will have a balance between the amount of carbon they produce and the amount they remove or prevent from entering the environment. Along with the promised carbon neutrality, the company is also declaring that they will fight against climate change by:
- Using renewable energy to manufacture their products.
- Creating products that are less power/electricity demanding.
- Double their recycled rare earth metals used in production, along with their tungsten and cobalt.
- Removing the in-box power adapter (Despite the evanescent disapproval of consumers).
- 75% less single use plastic in packaging.
- Making products that last longer.
