Sustainable Operations
We are reducing Amazon’s carbon footprint across all of our business operations and leading the way for other companies to decarbonize worldwide. With the introduction of electric vehicles, Amazon India aims to reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact of delivery operations. Amazon India has been working with several Indian original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to build a fleet of vehicles that ensure sustainable and safe deliveries of customer orders.
Our commitment to sustainability paves the way for business operations to have a positive impact on the environment in the service of building a better future for all.
We are building sustainability into all of Amazon’s operations and using a science-backed approach to drive innovative solutions to scale. From ensuring that suppliers share our environmental goals to innovations in packaging that minimize waste, we are taking bold actions to stop the global climate crisis. Our commitment to The Climate Pledge means that we are focused—first and foremost—on decarbonising our operations and sending strong signals that we are in need of new solutions and technologies to help accelerate our path to net-zero carbon by 2040.
