This week the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), published its annual report on how it collaborates with its partners from various locations around the globe, on how it chooses its materials for products, but also on how it contributes to protecting the environment. According to a study, approximately 85% of all the electrical energy needed the operations of all Apple buildings come from sources that do not affect the environment, and for its sustained efforts to protect the planet the company she was praised.
Apple's increased transparency about its suppliers is becoming a hallmark of Tim Cook's leadership at the company. Apple has flexed its muscles in the past to push suppliers to remove hazardous substances from products and provide more renewable energy for data centers, and it is proving the same model can work to reduce the use of conflict minerals.
Tom Dowdall, one of the most important people working in Greenpeace to protect the planet, he praised the efforts made by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), si Tim Cook to use renewable energy and certified materials for the manufacture of Apple products. On the other side of the "barricade" we find companies like Samsung, which have been criticized for not taking measures as proactive as those of Apple, Microsoft, Intel or Google, Greenpeace sometimes resorting to quite drastic measures to impose point of view.
