Apple and the Environment
Apple believes that improving the environmental performance of our business
starts with our products. The careful environmental management of our products
throughout their life cycles includes controlling the quantity and types of materials
used in their manufacture, improving their energy eciency, and designing them for
better recyclability. The information below details the environmental performance
of the 13-inch MacBook Prowith Retina display as it relates to climate change, energy
eciency, material eciency, and restricted substances.

Climate Change
Greenhouse gas emissions have an impact on the planet’s balance of land, ocean, and
air temperatures. Most of Apple’s corporate greenhouse gas emissions come from the
production, transport, use, and recycling of its products. Apple seeks to minimize
greenhouse gas emissions by setting stringent design-related goals for material and
energy eciency. The chart below provides the estimated greenhouse gas emissions
for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display over its life cycle.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display
Energy Eciency
Because one of the largest portions of product-related greenhouse gas emissions results from
actual use, energy efficiency is a key part of each product’s design. Apple products use power-
efficient components and software that intelligently powers them down during periods of
inactivity. The result is that MacBook Pro is energy efficient right out of the box.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display outperforms the stringent requirements of
the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Computers Version 5.2. It has been designed
to be energy efficient, consuming 25 percent less energy than the original 13-inch
MacBook Pro. The following table details the power consumed in different use modes.
