Amazon is actively helping fossil fuel companies “churn out more oil.” I documented our romance with oil and gas companies and why it matters here: 3/nhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1104218682253729792 …

I’m one of the Amazon employees who filed the climate shareholder resolution. Same week Shipment Zero was announced, @bcmerchant reported Amazon, Goggle & MS have deals with oil companies, “collectively worth billions” to help them “churn out more oil.” https://gizmodo.com/how-google-microsoft-and-big-tech-are-automating-the-1832790799 … https://twitter.com/higginsdunn/status/1104044599222435843 …

Yeah, and that 100% renewable energy commitment from Amazon? It's meaningless without a date. Every Amazon employee is expected to have DATES for our projects and launches. As @AlexSteffen says: winning slowly is the same thing as losing with the climate crisis. 4/

In short... Bezos: aggressive dates and timelines tied to goals are crucial for our success. Also Bezos: Yeah, no date for a goal about the most important, time-critical issue threatening our world.

By inaction I didn't mean that Amazon is doing literally nothing. 6/n

Amazon is VERY FAR from responding to the climate crisis at the scale or urgency it requires. Of showing *meaningful* action and climate leadership. Given our size and scale, what we are doing is wholly inadequate, which I address in this thread: 7/nhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1131423085708505088 …

Emily Cunningham added,

Emily Cunningham @emahlee

This is important to unpack because Amazon will often throw around numbers that may seem impressive at the outset, put only because the numbers lack context making them hard to evaluate and easy for Amazon to use in greenwashing (ie justifying that they're doing enough). 2/

.@Khanoisseur brought up Amazon's recent wind projects. Whoo boy, for a fuller understanding of Amazon's relationship with our wind and solar projects, read @bcmerchant: 8/nhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1131423092142559232 …

Amazon "quietly abandoned plans for one of its last scheduled wind farms last year." Meanwhile, it was busy wooing oil and gas business. 9/ https://gizmodo.com/amazon-is-aggressively-pursuing-big-oil-as-it-stalls-ou-1833875828 …

Our letter also put into context Amazon's much-touted "solar projects." Spoiler: they're teeny weeny compared to our massive carbon footprint. Considering commitments our peers have made (Walmart, Google, Microsoft, Apple), it's embarrassing. 9/n

"Our sustainability goals lack context. For example, we’ve set a goal of at least 50 solar installations in warehouse facilities by 2020. This represents only 6% of buildings in our global fulfillment network and a fraction of our overall carbon footprint." 10/n

In addition to all of this, Amazon fails to see climate as a strategic driver of both risks and opportunities. Or to understand that climate poses *significant* financial risk, which I wrote about here: /ENDhttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1119687611667193856 …

The climate crisis poses *significant* financial risks to Amazon. And not just in the usual ways one expects, like disruptions to business operations. What and how big are these risks? Investors need transparency on Amazon's risk assessment and management plans. THREAD

Replying to @emahlee @unruly_tuples

"It seems daunting to ask a company to go to the very ends of the supply chain. But indeed, sometimes you have to do that to find the biggest impact.. That makes companies like Amazon, who are at a key nexus in the supply chain, a huge lever for positive change.”
