Delivering a more energy-efficient cloud

We set big goals and work backwards to achieve them. AWS is determined to make the cloud the cleanest and the most energy-efficient solution for running all our customers’ infrastructure and business. We pledge to apply that same tenacity to how we address some of the world’s biggest environmental and societal challenges, so we can help make every day better for our customers, our employees, our communities, and our planet. To help achieve this, Amazon is committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 as part of The Climate Pledge. 

We’re making progress toward net-zero carbon through innovations and investments to eliminate emissions within the value chain of our business, as well as driving meaningful and necessary actions outside our value chain through nature-based solutions. This effort includes re:Invent 2026.

Here are the things we are doing behind the scenes to make re:Invent more sustainable:  

• Diverting waste from landfills through recycling, composting, and donating materials and unserved food to Clark County nonprofits 
• Minimizing waste by producing less, renting over buying, and using resuable and recyclable materials
• Reducing the use of single-use plastics, and giving back, by implementing programs such as Hydrate and Help
• Planning sustainable food and beverage practices to ease strain on local water systems
• Conserving energy and water while identifying opportunities to decarbonize opportunities across operations
