Apple computer retail stores would have a difficult time converting to renewable energy due to two-thirds of their stores are currently in shopping malls that are operating on power from a standard power grid (Allan, 2014). Apple will need to decide where to operate their retail stores, corporate offices, and factories where renewable energy would be available for use. To complete Apple’s overall goal of using renewable energy, the company will need to set milestones to achieve their goal. For Apple to obtain their goal of having all their retail stores, corporate offices, and data centers be 100 percent renewable energy will need the task of Apples own department to handle environmental issues. The main resources that need to be allocated are the resource available for each retail store, corporate office or data center that can be used for renewable energy.
