Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos revealed a new corporate pledge to meet the international Paris Agreement ten years early.
Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos announced the company's sweeping new efforts to combat climate change and revealed a new corporate pledge to meet the international Paris Agreement 10 years early -- committing to net zero carbon emissions by the year 2040.
Bezos also committed to switching to 100% renewable energy by 2030 and a $100 million investment in reforestation projects around the world. The Climate Pledge shows a response from corporations to the growing threat of climate change, even though the U.S. government has withdrawn from the international climate agreement, the Paris Agreement, under the Trump Administration.
Signing the climate pledge"will send an important signal to the market that it’s time to invest in the products and services the signatories will need to meet their commitments."
