Apple's Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, Lisa Jackson, oversees Apple's worldwide governmental affairs team to ensure alignment of policy influencing activities with our climate change strategy. Ms. Jackson reviews all significant legislative, public policy, and communications initiatives related to climate and environment, as well as all substantive participation requests for environmental advocacy. Apple believes that its clear and forceful position on climate action—through direct communications to employees and the broader public from both Ms. Jackson and Apple's CEO Tim Cook—leaves no ambiguity among its policy teams about Apple's stance on climate change. This clear direction from leadership also enables a unified approach to climate action regardless of employees' geographic location or business division. Apple works with various groups including those listed in C12.3, to drive U.S. state, federal, and foreign-government policies that support climate action, such as increased access to renewable energy. When deciding whether to join or maintain membership in a trade association (such as those select ones listed in 12.3b), that trade association's position and activity on climate change is a factor Apple considers. If direct or indirect engagement activities become inconsistent with our overall climate change strategy, we may disengage. For example, in 2009, Apple resigned its membership at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce directly as a result of the Chamber's public statements opposing the regulation of GHG emissions and its opposition to climate change legislation."
"Apple's Board of Directors reviews and discusses updates on environmental matters with Apple's Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, who is responsible for the development, review, and execution of plans designed to minimize Apple's impact on the environment. These reports include updates on Apple's progress towards environmental and climate goals and the environmental impact of our products and operations. In 2022, the Board formalized the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's oversight of Apple's strategies, policies, and practices relating to environmental and social matters.
