Incorporating Sustainability Into Our Buildings Amazon operates thousands of world-class facilities that serve our global employees, customers, and communities. We strive to reduce the environmental impacts of our buildings while creating a positive experience for the people who occupy them. Our Approach We leverage industry best practices and emerging technologies in facility design and operation to drive reductions across carbon, energy, water, and waste. We focus on the direct emissions that result from powering our buildings, as well as the indirect emissions from the embodied carbon—the carbon emitted during construction—in our building materials and equipment. We use proven technologies to enhance efficiency across our facilities and pilot new ideas, including innovations supported by The Climate Pledge Fund, to transition our buildings to net-zero carbon. In Corporate Offices We use innovative design to build sustainability into our physical campuses. Energy-efficient lighting, low-flow water fixtures, composting, and recycling are common features in our corporate offices. Many of our office buildings offer plazas and open green spaces for public use, along with green roofs that provide outdoor amenity space while supporting ecological functions like stormwater management. We also offer plug-in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and bicycle parking to encourage low- carbon transportation for employees and visitors. In 2021, we unveiled our latest plans for sustainable design enhancements at PenPlace , the second phase of our HQ2 development in Virginia. From the start, sustainability has been a key element of our HQ2 campus and we are committed to achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification, the highest sustainability certification for a development issued by the U.S. Green Building Council. Once completed, we aim for PenPlace to achieve a minimum of: • 10% reduction in the amount of embodied carbon compared to typical construction practices, followed by a commitment to offset 100% of the remaining embodied carbon. • 50% reduction in water consumption beyond national standards, using low-flow fixtures and reclaimed water. • 30% energy savings below the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) baseline, with electrified building systems powered by 100% renewable energy through a combination of both on-site solar and local off-site solar generation. Informed by an active and ongoing engagement process with Arlington County, we are reintroducing native plant species and creating a green, walkable, safe, and enjoyable community park for employees, nearby residents, and visitors. We are also expanding the planted area by 5,500 square feet, bringing the total area of public space at PenPlace to 2.5 acres. In addition, we are making it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to navigate the campus. Protected bike lanes connect PenPlace to the comprehensive local bike transit plan, ensuring our presence helps push forward Arlington’s own sustainability ambitions. In Fulfillment Facilities Our fulfillment facilities are state-of-the-art warehouses where we process orders for our customers. In 2021, we conducted pilot projects at several new fulfillment facilities using a low-carbon concrete technology produced by CarbonCure, a company Amazon has invested in through The Climate Pledge Fund. CarbonCure’s technology enables the concrete industry to sequester carbon permanently in fresh concrete, reducing embodied carbon at new construction sites. We also launched pilot projects at fulfillment facilities in North America to improve our on-site water management. This involved retrofitting sites to divert excess water runoff away from stormwater drains and toward ponds that exist on each facility’s property. In addition, many of our fulfillment facilities throughout the U.S., Europe, and India are powered by on-site solar, where a rooftop installation can power up to 80% of the facility’s energy use. As of 2021, 115 of our global fulfillment facilities have rooftop solar installations and we continue to scale this program globally. 2021 Sustainability Report Introduction I Environment I Society I Governance I Appendix 22
