Apple "strongly believes" that companies' corporate climate emissions disclosures should include the emissions that come from their supply chain, or what's called Scope 3 emissions.
"To ensure accuracy and transparency, we strongly believe that companies' carbon emissions disclosures should include their Scope 3 emissions," Foulkes wrote.
In the letter, Apple acknowledges some amount of uncertainty in reporting Scope 3 emissions due to available data at this time.
In the letter, Apple also backed third party oversight of the emissions reporting.
Apple's support of Scope 3 emissions in California, where the company is headquartered, comes at a time when federal regulators are considering requiring some level of corporate climate disclosures.
