Apple 2030 is the company’ s goal to achieve net zero emissions, with an SBTi validated target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 62 % across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by FY2030. The company says it has been carbon neutral for its global corporate operations since 2020. It has committed to 90 % emissions reduction by 2050. In 2020, it set a commitment to become carbon neutral across the lifecycle of its products by 2030.

In 2021, Apple partnered with Goldman Sachs and Conservation

International to launch the US $ 200m Restore Fund, a nature-based carbon removal investment strategy. It doubled this commitment in 2023 with a second fund in partnership with Climate Asset Management.

To achieve its goals, the company says it is improving supplier energy efficiency, using innovative product designs and switching to 100 % clean electricity for both its manufacturing and customer’ s electricity use powering Apple devices.
