The fund itself will be managed by Deutsche Bank subsidiary DWS Group, which has also made an investment.

”At Apple, we are proud to join with companies that are stepping up to address the climate challenge,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives. “We’re thrilled so many of our suppliers are participating in the fund and hope this model can be replicated globally to help businesses of all sizes make a significant positive impact on our planet,” she added.

The company is already running its own facilities on 100% renewable energy and has been working to clean up its supply chain since 2015.
