Environmental Initiatives
14 Renewable electricity refers to fossil fuel-free sources of energy from renewable
sources, like wind, solar, and low-impact hydroelectricity projects. Clean electricity
refers to both renewable electricity as well as other projects that Apple considers "low
carbon" but not "renewable," like nuclear and large-impact hydroelectricity projects.
Apple currently only allows for clean electricity sources to address electricity for product
use when part of a residual grid factor, in markets where there is sufficient data to
ensure that the clean electricity is not already claimed. For Apple's corporate footprint,
supply chain manufacturing, and the portion of our product use impact that is not
already clean electricity, Apple is investing in only new renewable electricity sources.
