How are global brands adapting to sustainability requirements?

ESG, the non-financial corporate assessment model being implemented by the European Commission, has made sustainability a hot business topic in again. How are e-commerce giants approaching it? Here are some examples.

 

Amazon’s ambitious goals

US Amazon certainly deserves its title of giant. The company has set itself an ambitious goal – to achieve climate neutrality by 2040. To this end, it is investing in renewable energy, such as the 3,900 solar panels that power its robotics centre in Świebodzin. The company is also committed to green transportation. It plans to be using 100,000 electric vehicles by 2030 to reduce CO₂ emissions by several million tons. In addition, Amazon is constantly improving its supply chain, promoting eco-friendly packaging and the idea of recycling¹.

 

Sustainability by Allegro

How is sustainability being implemented by Polish giants? Let us take a look at the 2022 ESG report presented by Allegro. In terms of ecology, it says that 98% of the warehouse waste generated by the company is recycled. Allegro boasts a 10.4% reduction in CO₂ emissions in its supply chain, as well as the introduction of nearly 4 million eco-friendly packages into the market.

There is an eco-friendly tint to Allegro’s One Box parcel lockers, as while they are powered by electricity from the grid, the company purchases energy certified with green certificates. In addition, the lockers are covered with vegetation and measure air quality in the area.
