Despite the recent change of president in the United States, Apple is maintaining its environmental pledge made to the previous administration, Bloomberg reports. Apple joined other companies including Google and Microsoft in signing a statement backing renewable energy efforts.
The joint statement follows an order signed by President Trump that reverses Environmental Protection Agency climate rules put in place by the Obama administration that Apple and other companies backed.
Apple’s commitment to renewable energy efforts made when signing the 2015 pledge may line up with other tech companies, but Bloomberg notes that other companies welcome the change:
Last fall shortly before the U.S. election, Apple reaffirmed its commitment to its goal of 100% renewable energy through new initiatives shared at Climate Week. Greenpeace, which monitors renewable energy efforts, awarded Apple the most environmentally friendly tech company for three years running in January.
Apple has also said its new headquarters, Apple Park, will be “one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world and the campus will run entirely on renewable energy” when it opens next month.
