Covering fiscal year 2021Environmental Progress ReportConnecting communitiesaround the worldCover photo: We aim to reduce our emissions in ways that consider the low-income and historically marginalized communities that too often bear the brunt of the effects of climate change. We are bringing renewable electricity to 3500 households in South Africa that previously lacked access to electricity.

Whether its using more recycled materials in our products, or transitioning our supply chain to 100 percent clean energy, there is no part of Apple this work does not reach.This years Environmental Progress Report shows the breadth of the environmental solutions were advancing, and the scale of collaboration that helped make them possible. The details here matter, because they add up to meaningful, substantive progress in our work for the planet. We are laser-focused on our commitment to achieve carbon neutrality for our entire footprint by 2030, a goal we have already reached for our own operations. At the same time, were working to one day make our products without taking from the earth, and to be a force for equity in the world around us.Across all of these efforts, we never lose sight of our primary mission working to address the climate crisis. Its an urgent challenge no one company, entity or individual can tackle alone, and this year, were addressing it with more ambition than ever before. In fact, weve begun to decouple business growth from emissions as we drive towards our goal of bringing our entire carbon footprint to net zero by 2030 including our supply chain and the use of our products. While our revenue grew 33 percent, our net emissions remained flat. Today, 213 of our suppliers representing the majority of Apples direct supplier spend are committed to using 100 percent renewable energy for their Apple business. Inthe last year, we more than doubled the amount of clean energy used to manufacture Apple products.Were also making great strides toward our goal of one day making our products without mining. In fiscal year 2021, nearly 20 percent of the materials we shipped in Apple products came from recycled sources. Weve more than doubled our use of recycled tungsten, rare earth elements, and cobalt. And initiatives like our Apple Trade In program, and advancements in recycling technology, continue to reduce our impact on the planet by using yesterdays products to help build tomorrows.ReflectionsIntroduction Climate Change Resources Smarter Chemistry Engagement Appendix 2022 Environmental Progress Report 3We also know that a greener future must be a more equitable one. Its why we continue to advance our Impact Accelerator, which invests in a diverse class of entrepreneurs developing next generation innovations in green technologies. That includes leaders Karl Johnson, whose company develops environmentally-friendly adhesives that make it easier to repair and recycle new technologies, or Betty Manetta whose company has pioneered an AI-based, real-time data collection process to assess energy consumption for its users.Equity also drives the mission of our Power for Impact initiative, which we launched to help connect underserved communities with clean, renewable energy. In communities from South Africa to the Philippines, from Thailand to Israel, weve helped bring solar and wind energy to schools, hospitals, and rural communities.And, working with Conservation International and Goldman Sachs, our Restore Fund invests to develop working forests which support local economic opportunity while sequestering carbon from the atmosphere.At Apple, we believe in making bold commitments to improve the world around us and taking bold steps to meet them. We set measurable goals, and then we get to the hard work of getting them done. And along the way, we share updates with our customers, our partners, and the communities we touch.As always, were grateful for your interest in this work and to all our partners for joining Apples journey. And we cant wait to share all of the innovations we have in store.Lisa Jackson2022 Environmental Progress Report 4Introduction Climate Change Resources Smarter Chemistry Engagement AppendixThe environmental challenges we face today are significant, and we are responding with urgency and dedication. We approach our work by focusing on fundamental questions. What matters most? And where can we make the greatest impact? These questions guide our work across our strategic pillars of climate change, resources, and smarter chemistry and inform our goals in how we can best achieve change. We know were not alone in working to reduce our environmental footprint. So were engaging with others to support our efforts and find opportunities to lift local communities along the way. Our environmental strategyClimate Change Were already carbon neutral for our corporate operations and weve set a goal to become carbon neutral for our entire product footprint by 2030. We plan to get there by reducing our emissions by 75 percent compared with 2015, and then investing in carbon removal solutions for the remaining emissions. Low-carbon design Energy efficiency Renewable electricity Direct emissions abatement Carbon removal Smarter Chemistry Through chemistry innovation and rigorous controls, we design our products to be safe for anyone who assembles, uses, or recycles them and to be better for the environment. Mapping and engagement Assessment and management Innovation Resources We aim to make durable, long-lasting products and packaging using only recycled or renewable materials, and enhance material recovery. At the same time, were committed to stewarding water resources and sending zero waste to landfill. Materials Water Zero waste Engagement By engaging with others on our environmental work, we can achieve an even greater impact that considers communities around the world. We learn from feedback and we work with partners to influence change in our industries. And we are transparent about our challenges and achievements to inspire others to take their own action. 2022 Environmental Progress Report 5Introduction Climate Change Resources Smarter Chemistry Engagement AppendixWe create products and services to enrich the lives of our customers. And we strive to do so in a way that sustains the planet and the resources that we all depend on. Setting ambitious goals is essential to this to drive the innovation and collaboration that makes change possible and to be transparent and accountable to our progress.

Our objectives remain clear: to reduce our impact, create equitable solutions, and drive broader change within the industry and our communities. Our progress can be measured by our achievements across our business. And the challenges that remain galvanize our efforts and drive us forward.Supported 10 renewable projects through Power for Impact We funded 10 clean energy projects that support economic growth, social impact, and equity in under-resourced communities around the world, while advancing Apples carbon neutrality goal.- Read more on page 2740% overall emissions reductions In fiscal year 2021, our environmental initiatives avoided over 23 million metric tons of emissions across all scopes, and we reduced our carbon footprint by 40 percent compared with fiscal year 2015. Efforts and initiatives that weve been growing for years made this possible like sourcing 100 percent renewable electricity for our facilities, transitioning suppliers to clean energy, and using low-carbon materials in products.- Read more on page 14213 suppliers committed to renewable electricity As of March 2022, 213 suppliers have committed to renewable electricity for Apple production, representing the majority of Apples direct supplier spend.

For us, this means taking bold action. Our goal to be carbon neutral by 2030 is both ambitious and necessary. The efforts that support this goal require innovations at scale like designing and implementing new technologies, mobilizing innovative financing, and rapidly deploying renewable energy. This chapter looks at our latest progress. We are continuing to deploy solutions to address our remaining footprint with great urgency.Achieve carbon neutrality for our entire carbon footprint, including products, by 2030.
