Apple has once again demonstrated its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and combating climate change with the release of its 2023 Environmental Progress Report. This report, which comes ahead of Earth Day on April 22, highlights the company’s numerous efforts to reduce its environmental impact and achieve its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2030.
The report delves into a wide range of topics, from Apple’s chemical research and device recycling operations to its use of renewable energy and reduction of waste. One particularly noteworthy announcement from the report is Apple’s plan to accelerate the transition to recycled materials across its devices, further emphasizing the company’s dedication to sustainable practices.
