Amazon’s approach to sustainability
summary
Amazon commits to net zero by 2040 and reports 10 gigawatts of renewable capacity across 232 projects, claims the world’s largest corporate renewables purchases, and allocates $2 billion via The Climate Pledge Fund to decarbonize hard sectors like concrete and aviation. AWS says migrating on‑prem to cloud yields an 88% lower carbon footprint (3.6× energy efficiency), cites Graviton2 performance‑per‑watt gains, solar roofs, and a 100,000 EV delivery vehicle order.
