Can a retail giant actually achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040?
In short: Amazon has committed to a massive overhaul of its carbon footprint. This video explores the logistics of the Climate Pledge and how the company plans to transform its entire business model to reach net-zero goals.
In 2019, Amazon signed the Climate Pledge, a formal commitment to become a net-zero carbon business by the year 2040. The discussion features Dave Clark, the chief of consumer retail, and Kara Hurst, who leads the company's sustainability efforts, speaking with activist Lindsay Levin.
The conversation focuses on the practicalities of reducing carbon across every facet of Amazon's operations. Beyond its own internal changes, the company is also attempting to influence the broader corporate landscape by inviting other businesses to join them in this transition.
