AAPL Apple Inc

By Dave Sebastian

Apple Inc. said more than 110 suppliers are transitioning to renewable energy for their Apple production as the tech giant seeks to be carbon neutral across its entire business, supply chain and product life cycle by 2030.

The company said the suppliers' commitments would avoid more than 15 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, about the same as taking more than 3.4 million cars off the road each year.

Apple said it is investing in renewable energy projects to cover some upstream emissions and an energy-storage project in California for renewable infrastructure. The company said its California Flats battery project could store 240 megawatt-hours of energy, which could power more than 7,000 homes for one day.
