I-Apple iyaqhubeka nokugxila endleleni yayo yokukhiqiza amadivayisi emvelweni nokuthi athuthukiswa ngendlela esimeme. NgoLwesihlanu olwedlule ukhiphe umbiko wakhe nge Intuthuko Yezemvelo ka-2021 iqinisa ukugxila kwayo kokuhlosiwe okwakumenyezelwe ngaphambilini ukufeza ukungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni kuwo wonke umsebenzi wayo wokukhiqiza nokusabalalisa ngonyaka ka-2030. Imisebenzi ka-Apple yona ibingathathi hlangothi kusukela ngo-Ephreli 2020.
Umbiko ka-2021 ukhombisa ukuthi kuthathwe izinyathelo ezibalulekile zokufeza le njongo. Ngokwalo mbiko, kuncishisiwe kanye nomthelela kwezemvelo wemikhiqizo yayo onyakeni ophelile futhi iphrojusa inqubekela phambili i-Apple ezoba nayo ize ifinyelele ekungcolisweni okungu-2030 kusukela kulo nyaka, ngaleyo ndlela isungule umgwaqo wayo womthelela kwezemvelo.
Ukufeza umgomo wokungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni ngo-2030 kuphoqa i-Apple ukuthi imikhiqizo yokwakha esebenzisa izinto ezenziwe kabusha eziningi. Iphinde ibe nomthelela kulokho imikhiqizo kufanele isebenze kahle (Okuthile esingeke sikhononde ngakho nokuthi sesivele sikubona kwamanye amadivayisi ngaphandle kwe-iPhone njenge-MacBook entsha ne-processor M1). Konke lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-Apple ihlose ukubala inani lekhabhoni elikhishwa yilawa madivayisi kukho konke ukuphila kwabo okusebenzisekayo, nokuthi kubiza malini ukuwenzela ukukhishwa kwawo.
Esinye sezinqumo esidale impikiswano enkulu futhi siphawule esenziwe yi-Apple ngonyaka odlule ukusondelana nokungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni, kube cindezela izigqoko zokuvikela ikhanda ezazihlale zihamba ne-iPhone ebhokisini lazo kanye ne-adaptha yodonga, kusale kuphela i-terminal enentambo njengezinto kuphela ezifakiwe ekuthengisweni. Ngalesi silinganiso, i-Apple ithi izovimbela ukukhishwa kwamathani wamathani ayizi-861.000 ethusi, ithini ne-zinc emhlabathini. Ngokungafaki lezi zinto, i-Apple iphinde yehlise usayizi wamaphakeji we-iPhone. Lokhu kusho ukuthi amafoni angaphezulu angama-70% anganela ku-pallet ngayinye yokuthumela, anciphise i-carbon footprint yokuhambisa amadivayisi.
Mayelana nomhlangano nokuthengwa kwempahla, i-Apple isayine izivumelwano nabalingani bokukhiqiza abangaphezu kuka-110 abazibophezele ekuguqulweni kwemvelo futhi basebenzise amandla avuselelekayo ayi-100% ekwenzeni amadivayisi ngo-2030.
