  they outsourced their emissions so they don’t have to count it as their own.

  This is good.

  It’s a shame that Europe did feel the need to compete with the US administration by gutting it’s auditing of sustainability esgtoday.com/eu-parliament-agrees-to-delay-sustai…

  This is a big step. I hope other technology companies try to aim for something similar and actually meet their goals.

    Because of my job I see a lot of factories from the tech industry and most, if not all, are trying to reduce their impact. Some of them are doing it out of virtue, other because at the end of the day it’s cheaper for them to produce and some are doing it because it looks good on paper and attracts investors.

    Now, the factories that I work with sell in countries where standards and regulations are tight, so take this with a grain of salt.

      OK… You’ve listed at a parent amount of expertise in the subject matter under discussion, but you stopped short of offering your opinion. Excuse me if I’m a little confused.

    Keep in mind, there is a very large probability that much of the content in the press release is misleading and de facto untrue.

    Why would you ever take a corporate press release at face value?

      What evidence do you have for that? If you’re going to call the writer of this article a liar, you should back that up with proof.

    I honestly expect our ruling regime to attack and punish them for this. I’m not exaggerating.

  Apple has been historically bad with their supply chain. I have doubts.

    Almost guaranteed. Net zero, and the means to achieving it, was basically a Greenwashing exercise manufactured by the fossil fuel industry, so the entire mechanism is full of ridiculous loopholes en par with Hollywood accounting.

  I don’t believe anything Apple says. Lying pieces of shit.

  “Ive lost 20 pounds since last month through exercising!”
  “Haven’t you gained 40 pounds through eating in that same time?”

  Snark aside, still a good thing.

  “And that’s why we deserve the 75% markup on our products. That’s why your peers won’t think you’re a scab, and a loser.”
