蘋(píng)果設(shè)立3億美元的中國(guó)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(píng)果(Apple)周四宣布，將與和碩(Pegatron)、緯創(chuàng)(Wistron)、捷普(Jabil)等蘋(píng)果最大的一些供應(yīng)商共同設(shè)立一支3億美元的新基金——“中國(guó)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(wù)于蘋(píng)果打造清潔供應(yīng)鏈的行動(dòng)。

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(guò)更名的資產(chǎn)管理業(yè)務(wù)DWS Group將管理中國(guó)清潔能源基金，并會(huì)與蘋(píng)果及其供應(yīng)商共同進(jìn)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(píng)果及這些供應(yīng)商計(jì)劃在未來(lái)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(guó)環(huán)保局局長(zhǎng)、蘋(píng)果社會(huì)政策負(fù)責(zé)人莉薩杰克遜(Lisa Jackson)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，蘋(píng)果為減輕自身造成的環(huán)境影響制定了雄心勃勃的長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)。蘋(píng)果去年表示，希望有一天能完全使用可再生材料制造其設(shè)備，“完全停止開(kāi)采地球資源”，盡管蘋(píng)果并沒(méi)有為這一目標(biāo)設(shè)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(píng)果曾在美國(guó)俄勒岡州、內(nèi)華達(dá)州和愛(ài)荷華州以及日本、中國(guó)投資風(fēng)能和太陽(yáng)能項(xiàng)目。今年早些時(shí)候，蘋(píng)果表示其全球設(shè)施的能源都是“100%的清潔能源”。
