APPLE

This award is bestowed upon Apple for its exemplary integration of high-quality carbon credits into its compensation strategy, demonstrating a commitment to positive global impact and its ambitious goal of achieving 'net zero' by 2030. These credits serve as a crucial component to neutralise remaining emissions, following significant reductions in its carbon footprint achieved through widespread adoption of renewable energy and the pioneering use of recycled materials.

Furthermore, Apple’s investment in carbon removal is underscored by the launch of its innovative USD 200 million Restore Fund, established in collaboration with Goldman Sachs and Conservation International. This groundbreaking initiative not only aims to generate verifiable credits through large-scale reforestation on degraded land but also exemplifies an active, regenerative strategy that transcends conventional offsetting.

This recognition acknowledges Apple’s sustained efforts to generate a positive and verifiable impact through its robust carbon credit purchasing and generation strategy. It further highlights the company’s broader contributions to global decarbonisation and its transparent communication of these pivotal efforts.
