Global technology giant Apple plans to invest in renewable energy projects in Australia as part of its worldwide push to eliminate its carbon footprint by 2030.
"These next ten years are absolutely crucial in terms of winning this battle and being able to say to our children and grandchildren that we did everything we could to stop catastrophic climate change," she said. "We want to continue to meet the expectations of our customers I know we're planning to invest in some more renewable energy in Australia in the very near future".
"It's really about our supply chain which is worldwide...because if we want to be carbon neutral we also need our customers to use clean energy when they charge our devices," she said. "You're talking about companies, some big, some small, some medium. Their primary business is not getting clean energy for their company, their primary business is to manufacture, produce, design.
"We cannot solve climate change or any environmental problem on our own because business can lead, but without the benefit of government setting the standards we're not going to be anywhere," she said. "I think more and more what we're seeing especially from some of our customers is they expect Apple to do the right thing and more than that to show others what's possible.
