# Apple reports 100 percent renewable electricity for corporate operations and pushes suppliers

Date: 2018

## The fact

In 2018 Apple said its corporate operations were on 100 percent renewable electricity and expanded supplier clean-energy commitments, a completed procurement-climate cluster under Cook.

## Context

Neighbouring Ireland tax is a different 10-K file. Neighbouring M1 is later efficiency. He did not write an UNFCCC decision.

Ireland 2016 is neighbouring tax. M1 2020 is neighbouring silicon efficiency.

[Tim Cook](/people/tim-cook) has been Apple CEO since 24 August 2011. He does not write a DOJ complaint, a Commission DMA decision, an Irish Finance Act, or a Chinese Cyberspace Administration rule. Steve Jobs is a different, dead person. A product launch is not a labour statute. A privacy keynote is not a completed DMA compliance certificate. Keep those dates separate. A 10-K climate page is not a unique ppm. An assembler audit is not a unique suicide count as his personal tally. A DMA listing is not a completed sideload world. A DOJ complaint is not a breakup. TSMC fabricates; Foxconn assembles; App Review enforces.

## Evidence and sources

Apple carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

A claim is not a unique global ppm.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2018 Apple 100 percent corporate renewable electricity claim and supplier programme, independently reported.

Not established: that global CO2 fell that year because of Cupertino, or that every supplier’s grid was clean.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Energy teams procured. Suppliers contracted PPAs or not. UNFCCC parties still set the public carbon frame.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Apple reports 100 percent renewable electricity for corporate operations and pushes suppliers, not a later speech about Apple reports 100 percent renewable electricity for corporate operations and pushes suppliers.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Apple reports 100 percent renewable electricity for corporate operations and pushes suppliers on 2018-04-09 is not a licence to treat every later Apple communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Apple reports 100 percent renewable electricity for corporate operations and pushes suppliers into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He signed the reports as CEO. Energy teams procured. Suppliers contracted PPAs or not. UNFCCC parties still set the public carbon frame. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
