Apple phases out lead sustainability role as Lisa Jackson retires
Jackson’s environmental and social responsibilities will be transferred to Apple Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan.
Apple will no longer have a dedicated sustainability leader on its C-suite once its current Vice President for Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson retires in January 2026.
Jackson’s environmental and social responsibilities will be transferred to Apple Chief Operating Officer Sabih Khan, while her policy work will be passed on temporarily to General Counsel Kate Adams until her own retirement in late 2026. Policy will then be overseen by Apple’s new Vice President, General Counsel and Government Affairs Jennifer Newstead.
