The report is only about Apple’s efforts last year, presumably. They have working on their carbon footprint for years. We can safely say that operations at Apple Park are noticeably more efficient than work done at older buildings. 

Apple is also a company which is still physically growing.

Good job, Apple.  That represents 2 one-thousandths of 1 percent of all the homes in the US.  Or perhaps 5% of the homes of Apple employees.  Even one of the largest corporations in the world's best efforts represent less than a drop in the bucket in a world with 7.5 billion people.

Samsung has actually picked a smart strategy here. They limit reliance on partners like Goldman Sachs, and not being a credit card means there are more potential users in future.

Fascinating that you view Apple's partnership with the premier investment bank in the world as some sort of weakness.

There is an opportunity for Apple here. Spotify isn’t really profitable, and its business model involves paying musicians tiny amounts for their work.  Their big plan is to take the money they have and spend it NOT on the artists that do the work?

Apple can really play the angle that Apple is the company for music and musicians, by spending a relatively small amount by their standards. Spotify might seem a giant now, but the company is quite fragile. 

The other thing to remember when we think about trying to lower demand on the healthcare system, is that places like hospitals, are normally at 90-100% capacity all the time. We have very little space for outbreaks of any kind. It is a major flaw in the system.
