Great to be in NYC today for Climate Week and to celebrate The Climate Pledge's five-year anniversary with many of our 525 signatories. In 2019, we co-founded the Pledge and committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Achieving this type of goal is significant for any company; but when you think about Amazon, given the diverse set of businesses and sectors we operate in (including many with very industrialized operations), it’s even more complex. But, we’re committed to being net carbon zero by 2040. Our journey began with small wins that have led to bigger progress—last year, we matched 100% of the electricity we consumed across Amazon’s global operations with renewable energy, we now have 24K electric delivery vehicles on the road globally, we’ve eliminated 95% of the air plastic pillows in North America packaging (getting to 100% by end of year) and already eliminated 100% in Europe, and cut 446K metric tons of packaging in 2023 alone. We’re making meaningful progress, but know there is still lots of work ahead to build the future we all want for ourselves, our kids, our communities, and our customers. We’re committed to continuing to lead, partner, and innovate on this important issue.
