Apple has always been known to promote its "green" policy within the company. These past few weeks we saw how Apple withdrew their EPEAT certified products, and then turn back, recognize their mistake and return to work with the same certificate. Meanwhile, relations with Greenpeace seem to improve.

Last April, the organization published a report entitled "How clean is your cloud?", Which looked at how data centers of various technology companies harmed the environment. Apple buildings, used for storing data from millions of users who have joined icloud service, suspended in the Greenpeace report.

Months later, the environmental organization has been republished in an updated report recognizes the progress that Apple and its concern to improve the situation. But at the same time, the document shows a skepticism about the policies that Apple wants to take to improve the situation. Greenpeace recognizes the company's commitment to renewable energy and talks about his building located in the state of North Carolina, where they have installed large solar panels to use clean energy. However, "Apple does not clarify what will you do to eliminate the use of coal in their buildings."

Finally, Greenpeace improves general note regarding Apple scores in the previous report. What can have led Greenpeace to update this document?
