In 2019, Amazon and Global Optimism co-founded The Climate Pledge, a commitment to net-zero carbon by 2040. Since then, a growing list of companies have joined The Climate Pledge. These signatories will play a critical role in stimulating investment in the development of low-carbon products and services.
Launched with a $2 billion commitment from Amazon, The Climate Pledge Fund invests in companies creating products, services, and technologies needed to build a net-zero carbon future.
The Climate Pledge Friendly program helps customers easily find and shop for more sustainable products in Amazon’s store. Products with the Climate Pledge Friendly label have earned one or more of 50+ different sustainability certifications.
