Sustainability at Amazon

Sustainability

We made an ambitious commitment to reach net-zero carbon across our global operations by 2040 as part of our co-founding of The Climate Pledge, and more than 550 companies around the world have joined us in the Pledge. Since 2019 we’ve improved our carbon intensity by 24%, reached our goal to match 100% of the electricity we use across our operations with renewable energy, put more than 24,000 electric delivery vehicles on the road globally, and removed plastic air pillows from all delivery packaging at fulfillment centers globally.

Amazon takes a broad, science-based approach to addressing the climate crisis.

In addition to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, we are transitioning toward carbon-free electricity, and investing in renewables as well as other carbon-free electricity sources. We have ordered over 100,000 fully-electric delivery vehicles, and plan to invest $100 million in reforestation projects around the world. We also launched the Climate Pledge Fund, a $2 billion fund to back visionary companies whose products and services will facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy.
