What will it take to power the planet in a way that doesn’t hurt it? Chris Roe, Amazon’s director of energy and sustainable operations, shares the company’s pledge to get to net-zero carbon and fully operate all buildings — including data and distribution centers, warehouses, commercial offices and grocery stores — on 100-percent renewable energy. He reveals the most critical part of achieving these goals: partnering with companies around the globe to spearhead new wind and solar projects. Modeling a collaborative approach to a climate-friendly future, Roe invites leaders and companies everywhere to set their ambitions high and create a world that runs on green energy — because we can only achieve this together.
