Apple pours $4.7 billion into Green Bond projects, brings clean energy to local communities

Apple:

Apple’s newly completed renewable projects, part of the company’s planned $4.7 billion Green Bond spend, are bringing clean energy to local communities while reducing carbon emissions. In 2020, Apple funded 17 Green Bond projects that will avoid an average of 921,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually, which is equivalent to removing nearly 200,000 cars from the road. The projects will generate 1.2 gigawatts of renewable energy globally, with Apple adding over 350 megawatts of newly installed renewable energy over the last year in Nevada, Illinois, Virginia, and Denmark. Apple’s Green Bond issuances are among the largest in the private sector.

Big fan of this slice of Apple. I think Lisa Jackson and her group are undersung heroes. See also: Apple tops list of companies with biggest solar energy capacity.

Putting their money where their mouth is.
