Apple Facilities Report

Facilities Report
2009 Environmental Update
Apple and the Environment
Year after year, Apple has set and met important goals to reduce its impact on the
environment. Since 2006, Apple has assessed the full life-cycle greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG) associated with every product shipped and has been working
continuously to reduce those emissions. We know that over 95 percent of our total
emissions comes from the greenhouse gas emitted from the production, transport, use,
and recycling of products. To find out more about the impact of our products, review
Apple’s Product Environmental Reports at www.apple.com/environment/reports.
In contrast to our products, our facilities represent less than 5 percent of total GHG
emissions. Apple carefully manages the environmental impact of everyday operations.
Our environmental, health, and safety (EHS) management system helps ensure ongoing
compliance with regulations and company standards across all Apple facilities.
This report documents the environmental impact of Apple’s facilities, including Apple
Retail Stores, and it highlights the activities under way to reduce energy and water
consumption and waste production.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (G3) were
considered during the preparation of this report.
