This is an official Apple site that shows the environmental plans for 2018. It touches on issue like the carbon footprint they produce and the effect that they have on the environment.  They are aware of the mark they leave on the planet and have been working on a plan to eliminate it.  Their carbon footprint was 29.5 million metric tons, compared with 38.4 million the year before. A variety of factor contributed to the 23 percent decline.  Environmental programs such as reduced emissions from aluminum manufacturing and installing clean energy in the supply chain are a perfect example of this.

Once the mantel of the company was passed from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook, he made it a priority to make the company more socially responsible.  As of 2014, 100% of Apple operations in the US were made with renewable energy and 87% foreign.  Cook also hired Lisa Jackson former head of the US Environmental Protection Agency to help further enhance Apple’s environmental performance.

To summarize our information regarding how Apple is demonstrating good corporate citizenship and how the organization is preventing harm we believe that the company is doing so very effectively. Apple not only holds itself extremely accountable for its impact on its social responsibility but also for its global impact regarding environmental protection and efficiency. Some examples of how Apple is doing this includes reducing its carbon footprint by 8.9 million metric tons, by ensuring that all products are being made with renewable sources of energy, and by hiring the former head of the EPA. In doing so Apple remains dominant in the industry of technology while also maintaining its social responsibility as a global leader. As a result this makes Apple more competitive and also draws positive energy among both consumers and company workers.

Apple was recently involved in a scandal where consumer reports found that Apple releases software updates to not only improve the performance of newer phones but to slow the performance of older ones. This is an issue that should be changed because it works in opposition to their goals of being an eco friendly company. As a result they should stop this to prevent the waste of older phones instead of making them useless.
