Tyler Schmidt Professor Butler IDS-150 2/23/2024 Module 4 Short Paper Amazon is a company known worldwide and used across the United States. This global reach has both its good and its bads, most notably their effect on the environment. Amazon ships everywhere which means the fossil fuel consumption is extremely high. To combat this Amazon set up their Climate Pledge Fund with two billion dollars invested. This fund has helped Amazon become more sustainable and the end goal of this pledge is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. This is through counteracting their carbon usage with the use of solar and wind energy, along with other tactics. For Amazon to become more sustainable they need to take some extra steps and work towards this goal. They could do this through multiple ways, some main ones would be to make more sustainable packaging, transition to electric vehicles for transportation, and implementing strategies to reduce waste such as recycling programs. These are all possible solutions that will help Amazon reach this net-zero carbon emission goal. Policies can also help in reducing carbon emissions for companies, so this may also be a strategy Amazon could try. By enforcing internal sustainability policies Amazon can tackle waste management problems and ensure they are sourcing sustainably. The people that interact with amazon both internally and externally are also very important in this process of becoming carbon free. Employees within Amazon can advocate for this Climate Pledge Fund and even beyond it through new initiatives. The Departments

responsible for sourcing at Amazon can try and prioritize sustainable suppliers for stock. The higher ups in Amazon can take carbon emissions into account when making major decisions and analyzing their goals. These will all help with carbon emissions but there is even more that can be done by the customers and investors of Amazon. Customers can obviously choose more sustainable options when purchasing from Amazon and opting for their eco-friendly options of products. Investors hold a lot of power within companies so they too can advocate for these changes and see that they actually change. I believe with all these strategies in mind Amazon can become an eco-friendly company and even help the environment with their massive platform.
