Lawsuit over carbon neutrality Apple Watch
Company Apple has come under fire for claiming that the models Apple Watch Series 9, SE and Ultra 2 are carbon neutral. A consumer group has filed a lawsuit in federal court in California, claiming that Apple misleads customers through controversial emissions compensation projects.
The lawsuit focuses on two environmental projects that Apple is using to support its environmental initiatives – Chyulu Hills in Kenya and Guinan in China. According to the allegations, these projects do not result in a real reduction in carbon footprint because the areas were already protected and not at risk.
Consumers say that if they knew the real impact Apple Watch on the environment, they would either not buy the devices or would pay less for them. In the lawsuit, they are demanding compensation and an injunction against promoting these models as carbon neutral.
Apple introduced the first "carbon neutral" Apple Watch in September 2023 and plans to achieve carbon neutrality across its entire business by 2030. According to a study by the National Retail Federation and IBM, sustainability plays a key role for 70% of consumers in the US and Canada. This lawsuit could threaten the credibility of green efforts Applu and influence its future marketing strategies.
