Apple has an edge over its competitors in the fight against climate change
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Other brands need to send similarly clear signals to their suppliers,” Gary Cook, global climate policy director for the nonprofit Stand.earth that published the report, said in a press release.
To be sure, a completely separate report published by a different environmental group last week casts some doubt on Apple’s recent carbon neutral claims.
Most power grids don’t have enough solar and wind farms online yet to fulfill companies’ goals of becoming carbon neutral.
“While Apple may be too quick to claim their products are ‘carbon neutral,’ they are the only ones who are both setting a strong example in how they are moving their own operations off of fossil fuels, and working aggressively to get their suppliers on a path to be 100% renewably powered by 2030,” Cook said.
Despite that progress, Apple still has to be more transparent about its supply chain emissions, according to the separate report published last week by the nonprofit Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE).
“We will continue to advocate and share our rigorous, science-based approach to decarbonize our products — in close partnership with our suppliers, and with third-party validation — as a way to drive further progress across industry,” Apple spokesperson Sean Redding said in an email to The Verge.

Oh please...
Doesn't surprise me, but I think it's more about the other companies not taking enough steps. The best move is to reduce consumption, but what Apple is doing is better than nothing. Whether forced or not, they need to do more on repairability.
