The CEO of AWS is responsible for sustainability issues on behalf of Amazon’s senior management team. This includes reporting to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on our performance against our climate-related initiatives and targets. The Vice President of Worldwide Sustainability reports to the CEO of AWS and oversees Amazon’s sustainability team.
Our sustainability team coordinates companywide efforts to oversee operational changes that reduce or eliminate carbon in our businesses. We developed a carbon system of record that provides information to business teams on their emissions and allows them to track progress on decarbonization. The sustainability team collaborates with leadership teams across all of our major businesses to track progress toward our sustainability goals, and to regularly report to Amazon’s senior management team.
