The plans include 7,000 trees and underground parking lots.<\/p>\n<p>With 80 percent of its headquarters being landscape, Apple wants to incorporate one of the largest onsite corporate solar energy installations. Once completed, the donut-shaped building will be 2.8 million feet and will have the capability to accommodate over 14,000 employees. This amount of potential employees is five times the number that can fit at Apple\u2019s current headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative blends in with Apple\u2019s theme of creating and supporting greener alternatives. At the Climate Week NYC, Apple CEO Tim Cook <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/apples-new-campus-to-be-greenest-on-earth\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" rel=\"nofollow\">said<\/a>, &#8220;We&#8217;re building a new headquarters that I think will be the greenest building on the planet. It&#8217;ll be a center for innovation, and it&#8217;s something clearly our employees want and we want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2012, the company received criticism after <i>The New York Times<\/i> exposed disreputable labor and environmental practices. As a response, Cook said the company has decided to take action to make the supply chain greener and more sustainable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/apple-logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-918 aligncenter\" alt=\"apple logo\" src=\"http:\/\/convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/apple-logo.jpg\" width=\"189\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>commons.wikimedia.org<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F916&#038;t=Apple%E2%80%99s%20Green%20Renovation%20Raises%20the%20Bar&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F916&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fconvergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F09%2Fapple-logo.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Apple%E2%80%99s%20Green%20Renovation%20Raises%20the%20Bar\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F916&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox external\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.convergedsystems.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F916&#038;title=Apple%E2%80%99s%20Green%20Renovation%20Raises%20the%20Bar\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convergedsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has been all over the news lately after its introduction of the Apple Watch, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as its new Health app. However, the company is now in the stoplight for another reason; its headquarters.
