Apple Looking To Fortify Its Climate Efforts With New Carbon Program Manager

Last week, tech giant Apple announced a new job opening for a Carbon Program Manager that would join its Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives team. 

As indicated in the ad, the new hire would be in charge of navigating the development and implementation of projects that would help Apple address its unavoidable Scope 1 and 3 emissions. 

The ad accentuated that the ideal candidate needs to be passionate about scaling both nature-based and emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies, and the appointed person would take the lead in making sure Apple is advancing towards its 2030 CO2 removal goals. 

Based on the candidate’s skills, experience, and location, Apple has set the base remuneration range for this position between $139,200 and $258,700.

Another perk highlighted by Apple is the opportunity for hires to become a company shareholder through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs.

With this motion, Apple joins a roster of corporations that have solidified their climate strategies by appointing a dedicated carbon management team. 

As part of its strategy for boosting the company’s nature-based and tech-powered CDR partnership, Google has put together a Carbon Credits and Removals team, led by Randy Spock. 

Microsoft, on the other hand, which has experienced a surge in CO2 emissions due to AI-powered data center expansion, has taken on the challenge of decarbonization seriously, arming up with professionals to lead different areas of its sustainability transition strategy.

To that end, the corporation has hired separate leads for corporate sustainability, carbon removal, and supply chain decarbonization, as well as an innovation & carbon fee head as part of its Climate Innovation Fund. 

Recently, Amazon also published a job opening for a professional to help with the company’s sustainability plans going forward. However, a few days after the original publication, the ad seems to not be available online anymore.
