      Amazon is actively helping fossil fuel companies “churn out more oil” when the science is known that we must keep oil and gas in the ground to avoid catastrophic warming. I documented our romance with oil and gas companies and why it matters here:https://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 …

      Amazon's 100% renewable energy goal is meaningless without a date. Winning slowly is the same thing as losing with the climate crisis. Employees have to give dates. It would be unfathomable for an Amazon employee to walk into a meeting about a new product without a launch date.

      It's also dishonest for Amazon to have a goal of "100% renewable energy" without a date, especially when timelines determine the amount of devastation in a rapidly warming climate. 1.5 vs 2 degrees... even half a degree warming threatens the lives of tens of millions of people.

      Our peers are showing much more leadership: Walmart set a goal to be powered by 50% renewable sources by 2025, and has currently achieved 28% of that. Microsoft pledged to cut emissions by 75% by 2030.

      Amazon is VERY FAR from responding to the climate crisis at the scale or urgency it requires. Of showing *meaningful* action and climate leadership. What we are doing is wholly inadequate.

      From our open letter: "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."

      Until Feb (which is *after* employees started pressuring the company), Amazon hadn't announced any new deals to supply clean energy to its data centers since 2016. (Amazon Web Services makes more money than McDonalds). Meanwhile we were busy wooing oil and gas companies.

          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:https://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 👇 1/

          The potential though is HUGE. Amazon's ability to be a transformative force for change is truly exciting. We could drive change at "all of supply chain, last mile, and third party sellers." We could change whole industries. If we decided to. Thread:https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1131710529590910976 …

          "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.”
