The well-being – the sustainability – of the environment is intricately linked to our own. Without a safe, clean, and #sustainable #environment, many aspects of human life that we hold dear would be severely and permanently damaged. #TheFightForOurLives: Is Environmental Sustainability Really Sustainable?

#PackagingEvolutionAnecdote: In 2021, Amazon introduced 'Climate Pledge Friendly', a program highlighting products with sustainable certifications. This initiative helps customers make eco-conscious choices, encouraging brands to prioritize sustainable packaging and reduce their environmental impact. Amazon's Climate Pledge Friendly program showcases the company's commitment to promoting sustainable practices in e-commerce! 🌍📦 #ClimatePledgeFriendly #SustainableShopping ➡️ Follow me on LinkedIn: Ashwin P.

At the COP28 climate talks last month, the #SBTi reached a milestone of 4,000 businesses with approved targets aligned with the Paris Agreement’s climate-critical 1.5°C warming limit, up from 2,000 the previous year and 1,000 the year before that. Around 6,000 companies have submitted their decarbonisation targets to SBTi for approval to date. However, a check by Eco-Business of SBTi’s data available on its website reveals that 173 companies which had their net-zero commitments previously published have been removed since January last year, with 50 based in Asia Pacific. The most high profile company to have its pledge dropped is Amazon. In 2019, the e-commerce giant pledged to eliminate or offset all of its carbon emissions by 2040, and submitted its goals for validiation by SBTi in 2020. The validation has since been removed, as SBTi determined that Amazon failed to set a credible emissions reduction trajectory to meet its 2040 deadline. https://lnkd.in/gNwGXJ-C

Ever hear of climate contribution? It represents a critical step for ecommerce businesses in their journey towards environmental stewardship. Don't get us wrong traditional sustainability strategies that focus on reducing carbon footprints are incredibly important, but additions like climate contribution actively engage companies in supporting environmental projects that drive tangible improvements in our planet’s health. For example, our Mai Ndombe project in the Democratic Republic of Congo protects 300,000 hectars of forest with 7 endangered species, has created over 300 local jobs, and has seen 12 schools built or renovated. This approach not only amplifies a business’s impact on combating climate change but also delineates a clear distinction from carbon offsetting. While both strategies aim to counterbalance emissions, climate contribution is distinguished by its direct investment in projects that yield verifiable, long-term environmental benefits. Herein lies our comprehensive guide to understanding climate contribution: its significance for ecommerce entities, and how it diverges from the conventional carbon offsetting narrative to offer a more impactful route to climate action. https://hubs.ly/Q02pQdFk0 #ecommerce #sustainability #climateaction #carbonfootprint
