When including all of its global corporate facilities, Apple was at 75% renewable energy usage for 2012. That's up from 35% in 2010. Apple says it will continue to improve, and wants to achieve 100% renewable energy throughout the entire company.
Apple places high priority on transparency with its environmental efforts and releases environmental update reports periodically.
