Apple Avoids Over 26 Million Tons of Emissions Through Use of Clean ...
Companies/ Energy Transition/ Environment Mark Segal April 20, 2026 Apple revealed that it has scaled the capacity of renewable energy procured by suppliers for the manufacturing of its products to over 20 GW in 2025, increasing by nearly 10% over the prior year, and more than doubling since 2021, according to the company’s annual Environmental Progress Report. Product manufacturing accounts for over half of Apple’s total carbon footprint, with efforts to address suppliers’ emissions through a transition to clean energy forming one of the company’s primary initiatives to achieve its climate goals, set by the company in 2020, to become carbon neutral across its entire business, manufacturing supply chain, and product life cycle by 2030. The goal envisions a 75% emissions reduction by 2030, the company has also committed to work toward a 90% emissions reduction by 2050. Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct requires the company’s entire direct manufacturing supply chain to use 100% renewable electricity for all Apple production before 2030. Apple launched a Supplier Clean Energy Program in 2015 aimed at enabling suppliers’ transition to clean, renewable electricity through levers such as policy advocacy, information about renewable energy procurement options, data insights, and engagement opportunities with renewable energy experts. In total, Apple reported that operational renewable energy capacity in its supply chain grew to 20.7 GW in 2025, up from 18.9 GW in 2024 and 10.3 GW in 2021, with renewable energy usage by suppliers increasing to 38.3 million MWh last year, up from 31.3 million MWh in the prior year. Apple estimated that the renewable energy procured by suppliers avoided more than 26 million metric tons of GHG emissions in 2025 – up from 21.8 million tons in 2024 – with an additional 2 million tons avoided through the company’s work with suppliers to optimize their energy efficiency, and 6 million tons through the use of low-carbon materials. Despite the progress in transitioning suppliers to clean energy, however, the company reported that its total value chain GHG emissions remained flat for the year, as reductions in product manufacturing, operational and product use emissions were offset by increased product transportation emissions. Overall, Apple’s GHG emissions footprint remains 60% below 2015 levels. Apple outlined a series of other sustainability achievements in its report, including revealing that it completed the transition to 100% fiber...
