Amazon’s Post

Not only does Amazon deliver on its sustainability commitments, but it is also ahead of schedule in greening its energy sourcing. Amazon’s 2023 Sustainability Report builds on the progress made over the last decade, and there is so much more to come in logistics, with scalable electrified solutions, innovation, and AI. To be continued…

Kudos to https://amzn.to/3LnD1vY for meeting its 100% renewable energy goal…seven years earlier than foreseen 👏 This is how clean, green energy goals are achieved 🙌 Amazon #cleanenergy #renewablenergy #sustainability #solarpower #windpower #emissions #climatechange

🌍 Amazon Drives Sustainability Forward: A Call to Action for Suppliers 🌍 According to Packaging Dive, Amazon is taking bold steps to ensure sustainability across its supply chain as part of its ambitious goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. In their 2023 Sustainability Report, Amazon is now requiring its highest-emitting suppliers, who contribute over 50% of the company's supply chain emissions, to submit decarbonization plans and show real progress over time. Suppliers who fail to comply will be deprioritized. Amazon’s Sustainability Exchange offers valuable resources to help companies on this journey. While Amazon has seen a 3% reduction in emissions in 2023, its overall carbon footprint has increased by 34.5% since 2019, highlighting the ongoing challenge. At CRP, we're proud to support such eco-friendly efforts with our sustainable packaging solutions. Ready to go green? Let's connect! 📞 Call us at 800-324-2247 ✉️ Email us at crp@crpkg.com

As a large multinational, Amazon has a serious responsibility and role to play in ensuring sustainability is and becomes an increasing focus of its operations. For the last five years, Amazon has co-led The Climate Pledge and to-date can count successes such as the one below - holding itself and its supply chain partners accountable to sustainability efforts. So how can a company that delivers millions of goods each year, runs services like AWS, Amazon Fresh, Prime Video, etc. drive the conversation around sustainability? 💡 Of particular interest to me: launching the Amazon Sustainability Exchange, providing free resources to suppliers by sharing previously proprietary information that will help companies of all sizes take meaningful steps toward net zero.

We need more companies aiming for renewable energy. This is just a start.

The achievement, although noteworthy, warrants a more profound examination to understand its real impact and implications for corporate climate action. Amazon’s early achievement of its renewable energy goal is a significant milestone that deserves recognition. It demonstrates what is possible when a large corporation commits to climate action and invests heavily in renewable energy. However, it’s crucial to maintain a critical perspective on such announcements. Dive into my latest article to uncover the strategies and innovations that propelled this sustainability milestone. #amazon #sustainability #climateaction #renewableenergy

For the fourth year in a row, Amazon (The Climate Pledge co-founder and signatory) has clinched the title of the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy. 👏 The IEA 2023 Renewables Report forecasts a monumental shift in the global power mix by 2028. As the world gears up to add nearly 3 700 GW of new renewable capacity, Amazon is at the forefront with 500+ solar and wind projects globally, totaling over 28 GW of clean energy capacity. Transitioning to carbon-free energy sources is one of the most impactful ways to lower carbon emissions, and is part of Amazon’s Climate Pledge commitment to reach net-zero carbon across their operations by 2040. They are also on a path to power their operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025—five years ahead of their original 2030 target, setting a new standard for corporate sustainability. Join us in celebrating this monumental achievement and hear from Amazon's VP of Worldwide Sustainability, Kara Hartnett Hurst, for a closer look at their journey towards a cleaner, sustainable future.

Amazon has achieved its renewable energy goals ahead of schedule, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. This accomplishment underscores the company's dedication to integrating renewable energy sources into its operations, setting a benchmark for others in the industry. By prioritizing clean energy, Amazon not only reduces its environmental footprint but also paves the way for a more sustainable future. The proactive approach taken by Amazon highlights the importance of corporate responsibility in addressing climate change and promoting renewable energy adoption. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #CarbonReduction #GreenEnergy #SustainableFuture #CorporateResponsibility #Amazon #EnergyEfficiency #EnvironmentalImpact #EcoFriendly #GreenTechnology #SustainableBusiness #FutureOfEnergy https://lnkd.in/ecW3F4xN

🔋⚡ I stumbled upon an insightful chart by Steven Bragg that sheds light on the environmental nuances of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Based on the comparison of a petrol powered Volvo to its electric counterpart, it’s a compelling visual that simplifies a complex narrative - EVs are part of the environmental solution, not the complete answer. And importantly, this view helps us remain realistic when solving the climate crisis and therefore focus on what matters most. Key Takeaways: - The environmental cost of EVs is front-loaded due to battery production. Larger batteries amplify this initial impact. - An EV that’s purchased but rarely driven has a greater environmental toll than a petrol car that’s also underutilised. - Charging an EV with a “dirty” energy grid? It may take around 150,000 km to reach an emissions breakeven point with Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. Considering the average car in Australia clocks in around 125,000 km over its lifespan, this is a pivotal figure. - The silver lining? When charged with renewable energy, an EV can offset its initial environmental impact in just 50,000 km. Remember, this chart is a momentary capture, dependent on variables like vehicle efficiency, battery size, and energy mix - all changing rapidly. But here’s the good news: - Our grid is on a green trajectory - the leap from 10% to 32% renewable energy since the early 2000s is testament to that. For Tasmanians, with 98% renewable grid today, the breakeven can occur as early as 4 years of ownership. - Many public charging stations are renewably powered or offset their emissions through green energy purchases. - Many EV owners are going solar on their roofs, slashing their charging costs and reducing their dependence on the grid. - EV batteries have a second life in grid storage and can be re-manufactured with 70% fewer emissions compared to their original production. - And finally, battery recycling is reaching 95% efficiency, bringing us closer to the reality of circular economy in transportation. The bottom line is this: EVs alone aren’t the magic bullet for our environmental challenges. However, they are an integral component as our energy grid greens and manufacturing processes become more sustainable - something unattainable with ICE. At evee, we're committed advancing this transition by maximising the utilisation of EVs that are already on the road and collaborating with renewable energy partners to promote more solar, hydro, and wind-powered charging.
