REUTERS: Apple Inc said on Thursday it has nearly doubled the number of suppliers using only clean energy for production work, including two that assemble and make the processor chips for the iPhone.
The company defines clean energy as coming from wind, solar or bio-gas fuel cells, as well as what it calls"low-impact" hydroelectric projects like a site in Oregon that captures energy from water in irrigation canals to power one of its data centers. When those options are not available, Apple says it aims to have suppliers sign power-purchase agreements with new renewable energy projects and using purchases of renewable energy credits only when there are no other options.
