To combat climate change, we will need large-scale and local action – and Amazon remains committed to investing in both. While we use our size and scale to help drive progress, we cannot do this alone. This is why we co-founded and became the first signatory of The Climate Pledge, a commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040, which has now been signed by more than 400 companies from 35 countries.
Sustainability is the path to prosperity for both humanity and businesses. Inaction on the part of businesses will result in even greater catastrophic damage to our environment and economies due to climate change. The choice between going green and achieving long-term profits is, therefore, no longer a matter of preference but of necessity. Here’s how companies from various industries are making efforts to invest in our planet.
