Product evaluations are based on U.S. configuration of Apple Watch Series 5.

Taking responsibility forour products at every stageWe take responsibility for our products throughout their life cycles—including the materialsthey are made of, the people who assemble them, and how they are recycled at end of life.And we focus on the areas where we can make the biggest difference for our planet: reducingour impact on climate change, conserving important resources, and using safer materials.We sell millions of products.So making even smalladjustments can have ameaningful impact.SourceMaterialsRecoverMakeApple Watch Series 5life cycle40 kg carbonemissions2Packageand ShipUseCarbon footprintWe continue to make progress in reducing Apple’s contribution to climate change—by focusingon making energy-efficient products with renewable or recycled materials and with renewableenergy. Through these efforts, including use of recycled aluminum, we reduced total productemissions by about 7 percent even while doubling storage.3 The carbon footprint of otherApple Watch configurations can be found in the endnotes.2 Apple is committed to using carbonlife cycle assessments to identify opportunities to drive down product greenhouse gasApple Watch Series 5 life cyclecarbon emissions77%Production9%Transport13%Use 1%End-of-life processingemissions.2Apple Watch Series 5Product Environmental Report

And as we make this transition,RecoverUsewe remain committed to the responsible sourcing of primary materials. We identify and mapmaterials in our products to the farthest reaches of our supply chain, and proudly lead ourindustry in establishing the strictest standards for smelters and refiners. Our product designsalso consider the safety of those who make, use, and recycle our products, restricting the useof hundreds of harmful substances. Our standards go beyond what’s required by law to protectpeople and the environment.AluminumTin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, and cobaltWe’re now using 100 percent certifiedrecycled aluminum for the case of AppleApple requires 100 percent of identified tin,tantalum, tungsten, gold, and cobalt smeltersWatch Series 5.

We developed our own specification for Apple Watch that goes beyond existingregulations, based on leading standards and recommendations from board-certifiedtoxicologists and dermatologists. In fact, every material that comes into contact with skin isevaluated and tested extensively. Only materials that pass these reviews are acceptable for usein Apple products.3Apple Watch Series 5Product Environmental Report

MakeMakeSourceMaterialsProductlife cyclePackageand ShipEvery year, we assess our suppliers against our Supplier Code ofConduct, which requires suppliers to make workplaces better foremployees and the environment.We work closely with the suppliers that make our products to reduce their environmental impact,and to treat people making Apple products with dignity and respect, provide opportunities toRecoverUseadvance, and maintain a safe work environment. Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets highexpectations for our suppliers. With strong foundational standards, we can make furtherprogress, from helping suppliers transition to renewable energy to providing educationalopportunities for their employees.

DefinitionsRecycled materials: Recycling makes better useof finite resources by sourcing from recovered ratherthan mined materials. Recycled content claims formaterials used in our products have been verified byan independent third party to a recycled contentstandard that conforms to ISO 14021.Bio-based plastics: Bio-based plastics are madefrom biological sources rather than from fossil-fuelsources. Bio-based plastics allow us to reducereliance on fossil fuels.Renewable materials: We define bio-materials asthose that can be regenerated in a human lifespan,like paper fibers or sugarcane. Bio-materials canhelp us use fewer finite resources. But eventhough bio-materials have the ability to regrow, theyare not always managed responsibly. Renewablematerials are a type of bio-material managed in a waythat enables continuous production without depletingearth’s resources. That’s why we focus on sourcesthat are certified for their management practices.Supplier Clean Energy Program: Since theelectricity used to make our products is the largestcontributor to our overall carbon footprint, we’rehelping our suppliers become more energy efficientand transition to new renewable energy sources.As part of this program, Apple and our suppliersare working to generate and procure more than4 gigawatts of new renewable energy worldwide by2020. This goal represents approximately one-thirdof our current manufacturing carbon footprint.Carbon footprint: Estimated emissions arecalculated in accordance with guidelines andrequirements as specified by ISO 14040 and ISO14044. There is inherent uncertainty in modelingcarbon emissions due primarily to data limitations.For the top component contributors to Apple’s carbonemissions, Apple addresses this uncertainty bydeveloping detailed process-based environmentalmodels with Apple-specific parameters. For theremaining elements of Apple’s carbon footprint,we rely on industry average data and assumptions.Calculation includes emissions for the followinglife cycle phases contributing to Global WarmingPotential (GWP 100 years) in CO2 equivalencyfactors (CO2e): Production: Includes the extraction, production,and transportation of raw materials, as well as themanufacture, transport, and assembly of all partsand product packaging. Transport: Includes air and sea transportation ofthe finished product and its associated packagingfrom manufacturing site to regional distributionhubs. Transport of products from distribution hubsto end customers is modeled using averagedistances based on regional geography. Use: Apple conservatively assumes a three-yearperiod for power use by first owners. Product usescenarios are based on historical customer usedata for similar products. Geographic differencesin the power grid mix have been accounted for ata regional level. End-of-life processing: Includes transportationfrom collection hubs to recycling centers and theenergy used in mechanical separation andshredding of parts.

Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates with the exceptionof AC power cords in India, Thailand, and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for ourPVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and itsamendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phaseout the use of these exempted substances where technically possible.Product Environmental Report

This means these final assembly supplier sites do not generate any waste sent to landfill.6 Onlychemicals that meet GreenScreen benchmark 3 or 4 are considered safer and preferred for use. In 2017,18 final assembly supplier facilities adopted these safer cleaners. And in 2018, 100 percent of process chemicalsused at final assembly supplier facilities were verified to comply with the Apple Regulated SubstancesSpecification for the third year in a row. GreenScreen is a comprehensive hazard assessment tool that evaluatessubstances against 18 different criteria.
