Driving climate solutions
Climate scientists agree that the world needs to reduce carbon emissions, and we’re working to do our part. We aim to reach net-zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040 by investing in carbon-free energy, scaling solutions, and collaborating with partners to broaden our impact.

$2Binvestment through The Climate Pledge Fund to support the development of sustainable technologies

500+companies have joined Amazon in signing The Climate Pledge, committing to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040

Our approach
Driven by the urgency ofclimate change, we co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019 and committed to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
To reach this target, we’re also expanding the use of zero-emission transportation such as electric delivery vans, cargo e-bikes, and on-foot deliveries, and we engage in industry initiatives to remove carbon emissions from transportation systems like ocean shipping, aviation, and trucking. We’re also using innovative construction techniques and building materials to make our fulfillment centers, data centers, offices, and physical retail locations more sustainable.
