Apple sent a letter to Scott Wiener, a California senator, voicing its strong support for including supply chain (Scope 3) emissions in climate disclosures

would require California to pass regulations by 2025 to require businesses with more than $1 billion in revenue to publicly disclose their scope one and two emissions to an emissions reporting organization starting in 2026. Affected companies would then be required to report their scope three emissions starting in 2027. The bill also requires the state to review these rules in 2029 and update them"as necessary" by 2030.

In the letter, Apple acknowledges some amount of uncertainty in reporting Scope 3 emissions due to available data at this time. "Scope 3 emissions, in particular, involve making educated assumptions and complex modeling," Foulkes wrote."We believe, however, that our reports attest to the feasibility of reasonably modeling, measuring and reporting on all three scopes of emissions, including scope 3 emissions, which represent the overwhelming majority of most companies' carbon footprint and are therefore critical to include.

In a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Sen. Weiner thanked Apple for the vote of confidence.— of our groundbreaking climate bill to require large corporations to disclose their carbon footprint . Thank you, Apple, for making clear that this is doable & a critically important piece of climate action.
