Amazon Launches Carbon Credit Service, Giving Qualified Companies Access to High-Quality Credits

Amazon has announced the launch of a carbon credit service within its Sustainability Exchange platform, with the goal of providing qualified companies with access to high-quality, science-based carbon credits.

This program seeks to help companies achieve their sustainability goals by investing in carbon reduction and removal projects. According to the company, this effort complements its internal initiatives to reduce emissions in its operations, including the electrification of its delivery fleet, improving the efficiency of its data centers, and transitioning to carbon-free energy.

According to Amazon, carbon credits can finance key environmental projects, such as forest restoration and reducing deforestation. However, one of the main challenges in this market is the lack of access to high-quality credits and ensuring that the underlying projects generate real climate benefits.

To ensure transparency and credibility, Amazon will only offer carbon credits to companies that meet certain requirements, such as setting net-zero emissions goals and publicly reporting their greenhouse gas emissions. Companies already participating in this service include Flickr, Corsair, Steelcase, and Slalom, among others.

Amazon’s Sustainability Exchange was launched in 2024 to foster collaboration and share decarbonization solutions between companies. With this expansion, the e-commerce giant reaffirms its commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and contributing to the fight against climate change.
