The Ethics and Social Responsibility of Apple

Corporate social responsibility is a business's concern for society's welfare. Apple is very sustainable in a sense that it focuses on the issues of environmental protection. Also, Apple maintains a highly formidable social responsibility. About 97 percent of Apple’s carbon footprint is directly related to its products — from manufacturing to customer use to recycling. The remaining 3 percent is related to its facilities.The most important thing we can do to reduce our impact on the environment is to improve products. That’s why apple design products to use less material, ship with smaller packaging, be free of many toxic substances, and be as energy efficient and recyclable as possible. With every new product, Apple continues their progress toward minimizing our environmental impact So while other companies talk about making their offices more energy efficient, Apple is focused on reducing the impact its products have on the environment.
