GCEIP 500 Company profile
Apple
Apple says its gross greenhouse-gas emissions fell by more than 60% from 2015 to 2024, while revenue grew by more than 65%. The work reaches deep into its supply chain.
The company
What it does
Apple designs and sells iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and related services. It controls product design and software while relying on a large supplier network for components, assembly, logistics and materials.
Across markets
Apple’s fiscal 2025 filing reports operations and sales across a broad international market, while its Environmental Progress Report says gross emissions were more than 60% below 2015 levels by 2024. The report includes supplier renewable-energy projects and recycled-material targets; Apple says Bureau Veritas and the Fraunhofer Institute provide third-party verification for parts of its environmental data. The figure is a gross-emissions comparison, not a claim that Apple has reached carbon neutrality across its products. Its largest climate challenge remains the footprint of making and using devices across a global supply chain.

GCEIP view
What the record tells us
Apple’s recognition record combines TIME’s editorial company list across 2021–2023 with Fortune’s 2025 reputation ranking. These placements reflect influence and reputation, not a count of trophies. Its environmental programme is measurable enough to examine year to year, but GCEIP will keep company-reported reductions, third-party assurance and the remaining supply-chain footprint distinct.
