A breakdown of Apple's greenhouse gas emissions from 2015 to 2022 as they aim to reach net zero emissions by 2030. In 2020, after announcing their corporate operations were officially carbon neutral, Apple pledged to make their products carbon neutral by 2030. This dataset includes every source of emissions from both their corporate operations and their product life cycle, the carbon footprint of their baseline iPhone in the same period, and normalizing factors like sales, market cap, and employees.
