Apple<\/a> Inc has created a $200 million fund to invest in timber-producing forest properties that will be managed to help remove carbon from the atmosphere while also generating a profit, it said on Thursday.
Apple last year set out a goal to neutralize its own carbon emissions and those of its suppliers by 2030. It said 75% of the reduction would come from eliminating emissions through steps such as the use of solar energy and the remaining 25% would come from carbon removal efforts.
Apple and nonprofit Conservation International<\/a> will be limited partners in the $200 million \"Restore Fund,\" as it is called, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc<\/a> will act as a general partner to manage it. Apple confirmed that it will be the biggest investor in the fund.
The fund will aim to generate a profit by investing in forest properties that will be managed to both produce commercial timber and boost carbon removal, with the goal of removing about 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
\"Our idea here is that if you can show it's profitable, and doing what we need to do in terms of climate risk reduction, then you can scale up investments in forest restoration and management, which is what's really needed,\" Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, told Reuters in an interview.
To help decide which projects to invest in and craft its carbon accounting standards, Apple said it will work with outside standards groups such as the Forest Stewardship Council and Verra, among others.
Jackson declined to say what the target returns for the fund would be, but said they will likely take into account current returns on financial investments in forests as a means of demonstrating that carbon removal can be profitable.
\"Working forests do make money, because they produce products our economy needs,\" Jackson said. \"And so there's an opportunity here, just like with clean energy, to show there's a sustainable economy model that matches the sustainability of the forests. The opportunity here is for Apple to bring our rigor and, frankly, our work in carbon quantification to the problem.\"

苹果去年制定了一个目标中和自己的到2030年碳排放和它的供应商。它说75%的削减将来自消除排放通过使用太阳能等步骤,剩下的25%将来自碳移除工作。
苹果公司和非营利组织保护国际将有限合伙人在2亿美元“恢复基金”,然后呢高盛集团(Goldman Sachs Group Inc .)将作为普通合伙人来管理它。苹果公司证实,这将是最大的投资基金。
该基金旨在生成一个利润通过投资森林属性将设法产生商业木材和增加碳移除,移除的目标每年约100万吨的二氧化碳。
“我们的想法是,如果你能展示它的盈利,和做我们需要做的气候风险降低,然后你可以在森林恢复和扩大投资管理,真正需要的是什么,”丽莎杰克逊,苹果公司的副总裁环境、政策和社会活动,在一次采访中对路透表示。
帮助决定哪些项目投资和工艺碳会计标准,苹果公司说,它将与外部标准小组工作如森林管理委员会和我们,等等。
杰克逊拒绝透露目标回报的基金是什么,但表示,他们可能会考虑当前的金融投资回报率在森林的证明碳移除可以盈利。
“森林工作赚钱,因为他们生产的产品我们的经济需要,”杰克逊说。”,这里有一个机会,就像清洁能源,显示有一个可持续发展的经济模式相匹配的可持续性森林。这里的机会是为苹果带给我们的严谨性和,坦率地说,我们的工作在碳排放量化问题。”
