Insights into Apple's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Apple has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover only its total carbon footprint, without separate targets for operational (Scope 1 and 2) or value chain (Scope 3) emissions. This limits the ability to track progress across distinct emissions categories. a
Does Apple have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Apple has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources. a
Apple's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 38,400,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2015, by 90% by 2050. a
As of 2024, Apple is ahead of schedule on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 66.84% of the planned reduction. a
