Amazon.com Inc.Carbon emissions fell for the first time since the company began reporting that figure, thanks to increased purchases of renewable electricity and a significant slowdown in the retailer’s sales growth.
The Seattle-based giant emitted 71.27 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2022, down 0.4% from a year earlier, Amazon said in a statement. The company achieved this improvement by using more solar and wind energy to power its operations and benefited from lower emissions from construction and third-party transportation.
