Driven by the urgency of climate change, we co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019 and committed to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Since then, we’ve made strides to match all of the electricity used to power our operations with 100% renewable energy, and we’re on track to meet our goal by 2025—five years sooner than planned.
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. glass railing post
We are committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions in the next 17 years. To get there, we have set interim goals, identified key areas of our business for decarbonization, and identified levers and accelerators to help us get there.
The Climate Pledge is a commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040. Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge with Global Optimism in 2019 and became the first company to sign the Pledge.
The Climate Pledge brings together the world’s top companies to accelerate joint action, cross-sector collaboration, and responsible change. Signatories agree to three areas of action:
Future Forward is a documentary series featuring businesses that are pioneering industry-shifting innovations on the front lines of climate change. These six short films highlight how signatories of The Climate Pledge are trailblazing paths to a cleaner future through decarbonization, demonstrating that a net-zero carbon journey is both possible and crucial.

We rely on a complex transportation network to get products from manufacturers and sellers to customers around the globe. Our logistics network spans every step of the journey—from global transportation between factories and ports, to last-mile delivery between delivery stations and customers.
We’re decarbonizing transportation across our business by increasing fleet efficiency, expanding the use of low-carbon fuels, and scaling electric and alternative-fuel vehicles. We also partner on initiatives to reduce carbon emissions in the wider transportation industry, and engage with policymakers and other decision-makers to advance policies in support of transportation decarbonization.
