Public Policy
We take our role as a business operating in Europe seriously and engage constructively with policymakers and other organisations on issues affecting our customers, selling partners, and wider society.
Sustainability
We are committed to and invested in sustainability because it’s a win all around—it’s good for the planet, for business, for our customers, and for our communities. The Climate Pledge, launched in 2019, is Amazon’s commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2040. In addition, we are on a path to powering our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.
