Our Planet
We are committed to and invested in sustainability because it’s a win all around—it’s good for the planet, for business, for our customers, and for our communities.
Amazon takes a broad, science-based approach to addressing the climate crisis.
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 535 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.

The Climate Pledge
This is Amazon’s commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2040. In addition, we are on a path to powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
Renewable energy
Amazon is the world's largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy for the fourth year in a row and announced four renewable energy investments in Canada all located in Alberta. Once all projects are operational, they will generate more than 2.3 million megawatt hours (MWH) of carbon-free energy – enough to power 1.69 million Canadian homes. These projects are helping power Amazon’s local operations, including AWS data centres and Amazon fulfilment centres, sortation centres and delivery stations, while also providing new sources of carbon-free power to local communities where the projects are located.
