(ANSA) – ROME – Apple’s commitment to green continues. The Cupertino-based company, a week before Earth Day on April 22, announced that its suppliers have more than doubled their use of clean energy in the past year, with more than 10 gigawatts operating today out of a total of nearly 16. gigawatts they have committed to in the coming years.

“We are proud that so many of our production chain partners share our urgency to address the climate crisis by committing to generate more renewable energy around the world,” said Lisa Jackson, vice president of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives at Apple – Clean energy is good for businesses and the planet. By sharing what we have learned ourselves in our transition to renewable energy, we are helping pave the way to a greener future. “
