When it comes to fighting climate change, Applewants to show off his white credentials. The Cupertino company demonstrates this once again by supporting a bill currently under study in California.
Concretely, the idea is to oblige companies whose turnover exceeds one billion dollars per year to disclose detailed information on their greenhouse gas emissions. While this initiative is already moving forward, the apple brand is driving the point home by calling for very strict application of this legislation.
Apple is very ambitious
In any case, this is what she says in a letter signed by Mike Foulkes, director of local and national government affairs at Apple, sent to Scott Wiener, one of the Democratic senators from California.
He therefore wants a company's entire supply chain to be included in the calculation of its carbon emissions.“While these can be difficult to measure, they are essential to understanding the full climate impacts of a business.”, supports the leader in his letter.
He adds:“Scope 3 emissions (from the supply chain), in particular, involve educated guesswork and complex modeling. However, we believe that our reports attest to the feasibility of modeling (…) which represents the vast majority of the carbon footprint of most companies and which is therefore essential to include.”
Huge new endorsement —@Apple— of our groundbreaking climate bill to require large corporations to disclose their carbon footprint (SB 253).
Thank you, Apple, for making clear that this is doable & a critically important piece of climate action.pic.twitter.com/mntbWzXFDV

As one might imagine, this position pleased Scott Wiener who commented:“Major new support from Apple for our groundbreaking climate bill requiring big companies to disclose their carbon footprint. Thank you, Apple, for making it clear that this is doable and a critically important piece of climate action.”
Remember that the Cupertino companyhas already achieved carbon neutralityon its installations and wishes to do the same for its entire activity by 2030.
