Apple Leads the Way in Climate Change Battle, Outshining Competitors

Apple is leading the way among tech giants in the fight against climate change, according to a new report. The company is the only one among its competitors to have set targets for its suppliers to switch to renewable energy. However, a separate report raises concerns about Apple's transparency regarding its supply chain emissions. The report emphasizes the need for tech companies to collaborate and advocate for policies promoting clean energy adoption. It also highlights the importance of strategic renewable energy purchasing and reducing supply chain emissions.

"California Enforces Groundbreaking Pollution Disclosure Bill, Including Supply Chain Emissions"

California legislators have passed a bill that would require large companies operating in the state to disclose their carbon dioxide emissions, including emissions from their supply chains and customer usage. If signed into law, it will be the first mandate of its kind in the United States. The bill aims to make California a global leader in corporate carbon transparency and push companies to design products with lower pollution and encourage suppliers to reduce their emissions. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also proposed similar federal rules, but they have faced delays and opposition from companies. The bill now awaits Governor Gavin Newsom's signature.
