Apple pledges to back new solar and wind projects in Europe  

Apple said the European investments are part of a strategy to address about 22% of its carbon footprint coming from the electricity customers use to charge their devices

More than 200 suppliers, representing 70% of Apple's direct manufacturing spending, have committed to using clean power such as wind or solar for all Apple production, Apple said.

Apple has said it would make fresh investments to set up solar and wind projects in Europe and called on its suppliers to decarbonise operations related to the production of iPhones and other products.

The company in 2020 had pledged to remove carbon emissions from its entire business, including products and its sprawling supply chain — which spans from Vietnam to Brazil — by 2030.
