Background: Climate change has accelerated the transition toward a green economy, yet sustainable supply chain practices remain dominated by technocratic approaches with limited integration of Islamic ethical principles. Objective: This study examines Apple Inc.’s carbon neutrality policy within its global supply chain from an Islamic economic perspective, particularly the prohibition of Israf (waste), while integrating green economy and Islamic ethical approaches to corporate sustainability. Methods: A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through a systematic literature review and conceptual analysis. Data were obtained from peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science (2015–2025), corporate sustainability reports, international organization documents, and Islamic economic literature. Results: Apple’s sustainability practices include renewable energy adoption, production and logistics efficiency, recycled materials, and circular economy principles. These initiatives support greenhouse gas emission reduction and align with Islamic principles prohibiting Israf and fasad fi al-ard by promoting resource efficiency and environmental stewardship. However, rapid product innovation cycles may encourage excessive consumption and electronic waste, creating tensions with Islamic sustainability values. Conclusion: Integrating green economy principles with Islamic ethics provides a more holistic sustainability framework emphasizing efficiency, environmental responsibility, justice, Tawazun, and intergenerational responsibility. This study contributes an Islamic ethical perspective to green supply chain management.
