In this video sketch, Apple stages a conversation between Tim Cook and Mother Nature.

By acknowledging and addressing our environmental impact, corporations can avoid contributing to a legacy of ecological damage and instead be part of a collective movement towards sustainability, resilience and a world of innovation and opportunities.
But to genuinely secure a future for all, including the very businesses that drive our global economy, it’s imperative that corporate leaders move beyond mere greenwashing. Reaching truly sustainable practices is not just a ‘trend,’ but necessitates action.

We must embrace sustainable practices, building on the inspiring solutions already evident, while fostering innovation to navigate these challenges and secure a resilient future for our planet.
The challenge is daunting, but the opportunity to forge a resilient, sustainable future is within our grasp.
We want to highlight an organisation that we’ve partnered with who are working hard to help businesses take responsibility and give back for the use of our planet’s resources. 1% for the Planet was founded by Yvon Chouinard, the iconic founder of Patagonia, with the goal of uniting businesses, non-profits, and individuals in a shared commitment to protect and enhance the natural environment.
Their mission is to accelerate smart environmental giving and prevent greenwashing.
