Amazon expands carbon credit service to UK companies via Sustainability Exchange
By

Summary
Amazon has expanded its carbon credit service, previously only available in the US, to qualified UK companies through its Sustainability Exchange platform. The program targets businesses that have already committed to meaningful decarbonisation but still face residual emissions after making practical cuts like switching to carbon-free energy and electrifying operations. The service helps these companies purchase verified carbon credits to offset remaining greenhouse gas emissions they cannot eliminate entirely.
