Tech giant Apple Inc. leaves a carbon footprint throughout its production chain, from procurement to product lifespan.

In 2015, its gross emissions totaled 38.4 million metric tons. No carbon offsets or removals were implemented that year, resulting in the same net emissions.

Gross emissions decreased to 25.1 million metric tons in 2019. Similar to 2015, no emission reductions were applied, leaving the net emissions unchanged.

In 2023, gross emissions fell to 16.1 million metric tons. Emission reduction efforts amounted to 0.5 million metric tons, resulting in net emissions of 15.6 million metric tons.

Apple claims that reducing its carbon footprint is a core principle of its operations.

"Our emission reduction targets align with what current climate science indicates is necessary to help limit global warming to 1.5°C," Apple wrote in a report, quoted on Friday (February 21, 2025).

Apple calculates its carbon footprint across its entire value chain, encompassing direct emissions and those related to production, from material sourcing to end-of-life.

"We use detailed carbon accounting results to adjust the Apple 2030 roadmap, which outlines our plan to become a carbon-neutral company," it stated.
