At Apple, we are constantly innovating to makethe world’s best technology while reducingour impact on the environment. That meanstaking urgent steps to fight climate changeand working collaboratively with our suppliersand localcommunities. It is amazing to see this progress come together in a single product.In October, we unveiled our latest carbon neutral product, Mac mini,which is made with more than50 percentrecycled content andmanufactured with electricity exclusively sourced from renewableenergy. That’s helped reduce the carbon footprint of Mac mini by80 percentfrom our business-as-usual scenario. And to balance theremaining emissions that can’t be avoided, we invest in high-quality,nature-based projects that reduce carbon in theatmosphere. But our commitment doesn’t end there. We’re also investing inclean energy projects to match the energy our customers use tocharge their devices. And with our Power for Impact program, we’velaunched renewable energy projects in countries including thePhilippines, Thailand, and South Africa. By expanding access tosafe, reliable electricity, we can protect the planet and support thecommunities most significantly impacted by climatechange. Every year, teams across our company find new and innovativeways to make our technology better for people and the planet. Thatprogress has brought us closer than ever to Apple 2030: our goal tobecome carbon neutral for our global footprint, including our supplychain and the energy our customers use to powertheirdevices. These projects are helping restore ecosystems around the world.Last year, I visited an area of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil that wasfully deforested not long ago. Thanks to the Restore Fund welaunched with our partners, it’s now a flourishing working forest —filled with native tree species that could have been lost forever.It was a powerful reminder that with dedication and effort, we canbring new life toonce-thrivinghabitats. To drive down carbon emissions even further, we’re using morerecycled materials than ever before. We now use99 percentrecycled rare earth elements in the magnets across our products.We’ve also continued to scale the use of recycled materials liketungsten, aluminum, cobalt, gold, and lithium. And we’ve doneall that while making our products even more durable and easyto repair, because technology that lasts longer is better for theenvironment and ourcustomers’wallets. Thanks to these efforts, I’m proud to share that Apple has now cutour overall emissions by more than60 percentsince 2015. Thisreport covers the work that makes a milestone like that possible.It describes in detail how we continue to dramatically reduce ourclimate impact, while helping accelerate a global transition towardrecycled materials andrenewableenergy. At Apple, we’ve always believed that innovation is a powerful forcefor progress. So we’ll continue to do our part to protect the planet —and to build a better future for generationstocome. LisaJackson VP, Environment, Policy andSocialInitiatives Report highlights Reduced our overall GHGemissions by more than60 percent Enhanced repairability features Increased our use of recycledmaterials In2024, we introduced design and software featuresto improve device repairability. The iPhone16debuteda new, faster process for removing the battery from theenclosure — using low-voltage electricity. We’ve improvedsupport for third-party parts used in repair. And RepairAssistant, launched with iOS18, allows customers andrepair professionals to configure new and used Apple partsdirectly onthe device. We’re making s
