As reported by ESG DIVE Amazon has it met a goal to match all of the electricity consumed across its global operations with 100% renewable energy in 2023, seven years ahead of its original 2030 target. This includes energy utilized in its data and fulfilment centres, grocery stores and corporate offices. Amazon has been able to accelerate its pathway to this sustainability target by investing “billions of dollars” in over 500 wind and solar projects across 27 countries which, collectively, can generate energy sufficient to power 7.6 million homes in the U.S., per its latest sustainability report, released the same day.

Amazon are now focussing on their supply chain and are pressuring their "highest-emitting" suppliers — those that collectively contribute 50 percent of its supply chain emissions — to demonstrate how they will reduce their emissions.

A Greenbiz report states that Amazon have said that they will prioritise their business toward those who provide their plans and results on their path to next-zero carbon emissions.

A lesson in managing Scope 3 emissions perhaps...?
