Amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world – it sold $514 billion worth of goods and services in 2022. Millions of purchases mean millions of parcels. And that means millions of deliveries clogging up streets and lungs – creating unnecessary traffic, fumes, and climate pollution in our towns and cities.
With online shopping projected to massively grow over the next couple of years, this problem is only going to get bigger.
If we can convince Amazon, the biggest and most influential delivery company in the world, to move to zero emissions deliveries, then we’ll drive change across the entire sector.
We worked hard this year to bring Amazon executives to the table to talk with us about the company’s skyrocketing emissions. We took our message to the streets to call on Amazon to enhance its commitments and begin a constructive, solution-oriented dialogue with us. We released new research demonstrating that the company expanded its climate-wrecking, community-poisoning pollution 75% over the past five years.
After years of empty promises and greewashing, it's time for Amazon to take accountability.
Send a message to Kara Hurst, Amazon's sustainability lead, and urge her to immediately address the company's growing emissions.
