2 Reviewed Data and Findings As part of this review Apple disclosed following data to Fraunhofer IZM: • Calculation methodology for the corporate fiber footprint • Sales data for FY2016, including accessories • Selected product and supplier specific data on packaging design (including CAD design drawings), materials (distinction of paper qualities, fiber content, including recycled fiber content), weights and production yields (process yields and cut-off losses) • Aggregated fiber data for all products and the total corporate fiber footprint for the fiscal year 2016 The revised methodology paper provided by Apple (Fiber Footprint at Apple - Methodology Description - V1.1) on March 6, 2017, is considered a sound and appropriate guidance for determining the company fiber footprint. Where appropriate, this approach follows methodological principles applied for state-of-the-art Life Cycle Assessments. This review comprises a check of fiber data for selected products, which are most influential to the overall corporate fiber footprint and which represent the full spectrum of Apple products. The selection of products for individual reviews has been agreed between Apple and Fraunhofer IZM. Plausibility of some data has been questioned and discussed with Apple in detail. Corrections were made accordingly. Similarly, system boundaries for the corporate and retail related fiber usage have been discussed and clarified. This review was done remotely. All questions raised in the course of the review were answered by Apple and related evidence was provided where needed. Based on the process and procedures conducted, there is no evidence that the corporate fiber footprint is not materially correct and is not a fair representation of fiber data and information. The excellent analysis meets the principles of good scientific practice. Berlin, March 8, 2017 - Karsten Schischke - - Dr. Nils F. Nissen - Fraunhofer IZM Fraunhofer IZM Dept. Environmental and Dept.
