蘋果設立3億美元的中國清潔能源基金

Apple and some of its largest suppliers, including Pegatron, Wistron and Jabil, are teaming up on a new $300 million “China Clean Energy” fund, the iPhone maker announced on Thursday.

iPhone制造商蘋果(Apple)周四宣布，將與和碩(Pegatron)、緯創(chuàng)(Wistron)、捷普(Jabil)等蘋果最大的一些供應商共同設立一支3億美元的新基金——“中國清潔能源”基金(China Clean Energy fund)。

The fund is designed to channel investment towards renewable energy sources as part of Apple’s drive to clean up its supply chain.

這支基金旨在投資可再生能源，這服務于蘋果打造清潔供應鏈的行動。

DWS Group, Deutsche Bank’s rebranded asset management arm, will manage the China Clean Energy Fund, as well as investing alongside Apple and its suppliers.

德意志銀行(Deutsche Bank)旗下經(jīng)過更名的資產(chǎn)管理業(yè)務DWS Group將管理中國清潔能源基金，并會與蘋果及其供應商共同進行投資。

The four-year plan is to pool resources for extra leverage to bring online more than 1 gigawatt of renewable energy in China.

蘋果及這些供應商計劃在未來4年里集中資源，以獲得更大影響力，目的是讓逾1千兆瓦的可再生能源電力入網(wǎng)。

Under social policy chief Lisa Jackson, the former head of the US Environmental Protection Agency, Apple has set itself ambitious long-term goals for reducing its environmental impact. Last year, Apple said that it hoped to one day manufacture all its devices entirely from recycled materials and “stop mining the earth altogether”, although it did not set any deadline for achieving this.

在前美國環(huán)保局局長、蘋果社會政策負責人莉薩杰克遜(Lisa Jackson)的領導下，蘋果為減輕自身造成的環(huán)境影響制定了雄心勃勃的長期目標。蘋果去年表示，希望有一天能完全使用可再生材料制造其設備，“完全停止開采地球資源”，盡管蘋果并沒有為這一目標設定完成期限。

Apple has previously invested in wind and solar energy projects in Oregon, Nevada and Iowa in the US, as well as in Japan and China. Earlier this year, Apple said that its global facilities were powered by “100 per cent clean energy”.

此前，蘋果曾在美國俄勒岡州、內華達州和愛荷華州以及日本、中國投資風能和太陽能項目。今年早些時候，蘋果表示其全球設施的能源都是“100%的清潔能源”。
