I’m no greeny but I love the idea of clean solar energy and don’t have an issue with the good old Wind Turbines either. Government policy aside there’s one company with the wherewith-all required to make a serious green commitment and that’s Apple – Today, they’ve announced their global facilities are powered by 100% clean energy.
That’s not just the impressive Apple Park head office, we’re talking every Retail Store around the world, every office, data centre and Apple facility across 43 countries. Pretty bloody impressive right?
Plus, they’re pushing more and more of their suppliers to make the same commitment with the number of suppliers now at 23 pushing to 100% renewables.
“We’re committed to leaving the world better than we found it. After years of hard work we’re proud to have reached this significant milestone,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re going to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the materials in our products, the way we recycle them, our facilities and our work with suppliers to establish new creative and forward looking sources of renewable energy because we know the future depends on it.”
Apple itself is creating or developing new renewable projects with utilities that wouldn’t otherwise exist – including solar arrays, wind farms and emerging green power too.
There are 25 such projects operational, totalling 626 megawatts of generation capacity – last year along 286 megawatts of solar came online.
Apple’s own list of renewable energy projects include:
