Working for a Sustainable Amazon

When you work for us, you’re working for a company that cares about the Earth

As part of Amazon’s mission, we have made a commitment to building a sustainable company for our associates, our communities, and our planet. As an associate, you’ll experience first-hand how we are fulfilling multiple high-level efforts from The Climate Pledge — our promise to achieve net-carbon emissions across our business by 2040 and inspire others to reach this new level of ambition.

Our timeline to a more sustainable future

100,000

electric vehicles deployed by 2030

50%

of all Amazon shipments with net-zero carbon by 2030

100%

of Amazon operations powered by renewable energy by 2025

Net-zero

carbon emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement

A commitment to sustainability starts at the workplace

We have already made significant headway in creating a net-zero carbon future. This is only possible when we ensure our associates have a safe and healthy environment to work.

Energy-Efficient Facilities

In addition to reducing water and fuel usage, we are minimizing energy use across all operations. Our facilities feature state-of-the-art technology and efficient building practices, with many of our warehouses powered by on-site solar.

Amazon Sustainability Ambassadors

We value the input of our associates. That’s why we have Sustainability Ambassadors, where more than 7,500 Amazonians have joined together to expand the efforts to reduce our environmental impacts. One example of this initiative comes from an ambassador team in Poland, where members redesigned the waste segregation process in their fulfillment center, improving waste recycling rates by more than 90%.

Expanding our environmental efforts

As an associate, you’d experience our ecological transformation in real-time. With electric delivery vehicles, improved packaging, and our Shipment Zero initiative, our services are becoming more sustainable to improve the future of our communities.

Ground Transportation

In 2021, we rolled out the first of our custom electric delivery vehicles in Los Angeles, and plan to have 100,000 vehicles deployed by 2030. Our Delivery Stations will be working with these vehicles and ensuring our packages make it to our customers safely, quickly and in an environmentally-friendly way.

Air Transport

Our Amazon Air facilities use low-carbon aviation fuel alternatives that reduce our carbon emissions in flight by up to 20% over the standard fuel. On the ground, we use cutting-edge electric equipment to service our planes and are working to generate on-site renewable energy by equipping air cargo facilities with rooftop solar panels.

Shipment Zero

Our goal is to deliver 50% of Amazon shipments with net-zero carbon by 2030. This means that the fulfillment operations we undertake at our warehouses — including our Sortation Centers — and the shipments to customers will be net-zero carbon.

A sustainable business means working towards a better planet

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are taking a broad, science-based approach that will have positive lasting effects on the planet – and you’d work for a company that’s a part of a history-changing initiative.

Renewable Energy

Amazon is on a path to powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025 — five years ahead of our original target of 2030. We are currently at 65% renewable energy use across our business.

Right Now Climate Fund

We have invested $100 million to restore and conserve forests, wetlands, and grasslands around the world and to find climate mitigation solutions.
