I care about the air I breathe – and about the communities Amazon's deliveries pass through every day.
I want to start by recognizing what Amazon has done. Putting tens of thousands of electric delivery vans on the road is real progress, and the goal of 100,000 by 2030 is genuinely ambitious. That effort is a foundation worth building on.
But there's one number I can't find anywhere in Amazon's reporting, and it's the one that would actually show how fast this is moving: the share of Amazon's deliveries that arrive in a zero-emission vehicle.
Amazon publishes the count of electric vans, and the count of packages they deliver. Those numbers always go up, which makes them look like progress — but a growing count can still be a small slice of a much larger, still-growing whole. Without the share, there's no way to know whether deliveries are mostly arriving clean or mostly still arriving on fossil fuels.
So my ask is simple: in your upcoming sustainability report, please publish the share of deliveries made by zero-emission vehicles, with a regional breakdown. Not a new commitment — just transparency about where things stand today. It's a first step toward the clean deliveries Amazon has already said it wants, and the kind of openness that earns trust that the progress is real.
