@casualconversation @casualuk What is your opinion on this : sustainability.aboutamazon.com ??#environment #csr #CorporateSocialResponsibility

@codewizard@hear-me.social I have a hard time taking it too seriously given that it's Amazon in charge of it. They've got too much of a history of greenwashing and of lobbying against environmentalist measures. I can't help but notice that the "highlight" about Amazon itself in the report is just... getting their logistics contractors to sign up to the project as well, not actually doing anything about their own emissions. Or switching to less environmentally-costly logistics. Or funding any improvements from their existing contractors.

I hope I'm wrong to be cynical about this, and it is good that companies like Amazon at least think they ought to try to appear like they're doing something, but I just have no good will for the company

It says the right things but I don't trust it...
