Carbon emissions are estimated according to comparable years, intensity and sector
benchmarks
Performance vs. Target
Note: Targets without baseline are ignored. In case several targets
exist, only the shorter-term target is
displayed.

Sector Benchmark
Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG
emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1
million USD revenue).
Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary
business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer
Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and
Materials.
Amazon.com Inc. belongs to the sector Consumer Discretionary.
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals
No
Conditions on use of offset credits
Avoid social harm
Avoid biodiversity harm
Must be high environmental integrity
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
Yes (nature-based removals e.g. Forestation, soil carbon enhancement)
Additional notes: Amazon is achieving our commitment to The Climate Pledge through two complementary actions: carbon elimination and, for remaining carbon impact that cannot be eliminated, carbon neutralization. First and foremost, we are innovating and investing to eliminate emissions within the value chain of our businesses. Second, we are driving meaningful and necessary actions outside of our value chain, through nature-based and technological solutions, to enable a credible carbon market for companies that will need to neutralize remaining emissions. As stated in The Climate Pledge, these solutions must be additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially-beneficial. https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/amazon-2021-carbon-neutralization.pdf
Various conditions set for offsetting projects https://sustainability.aboutamazon.com/amazon-2021-carbon-neutralization.pdf
We use nature-based solutions to mitigate carbon emissions outside of our value
chain and supplement the carbon reduction efforts we’re driving across our operations.
In parallel to reducing and avoiding emissions throughout
our business, we are also investing in carbon neutralization
through additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and
socially beneficial offsets. As part of this effort, we are
engaging in science-led collaborations to build credible
neutralization initiatives that can be deployed at scale in
the future.
