Amazon’s Climate Pledge initiative has announced nearly 100 new signatories, including the first shipping line in the form of Denmark’s Maersk.
In 2019, the giant US online marketplace founded The Climate Pledge, a commitment to reach the Paris Agreement 10 years early and be net-zero carbon by 2040. Now, 312 organisations have signed on.
“The effects of climate change are becoming more and more apparent in our surroundings and daily lives, and we firmly believe that the private sector must continue to innovate and collaborate across regions and industries in order to decarbonise the global economy at scale,” said Andy Jassy, Amazon CEO.
