Introducing an all-in-one destination to dive deeper into Amazon’s progress on water stewardship.
In support of World Water Day, Amazon has created a new online experience to show how we’re working to be a good water steward everywhere we operate.
Water is vital to sustaining life, from growing food to maintaining health and cleanliness. It’s also essential in ways that aren’t always seen. Water is used to meet the energy needs of facilities around the world, and retailers rely on it while manufacturing goods and services. At the same time, water scarcity is an increasing problem on every continent. To help protect the most vulnerable, water-stressed regions and ensure ongoing access to clean water, organizations worldwide must make collective progress toward managing water in smarter ways.
For Amazon, harnessing our scale and innovation-focused approach is at the core of everything we do. That includes how we use finite resources, such as water. With the same mindset that drives efficiency across our fulfillment network, we think about ways to use water more efficiently across our business—while supporting the long-term water resiliency of the communities in which we operate. Amazon has public commitments to return more water to communities than we use in our data center operations globally by 2030, and in our direct operations in India by 2027.
On this page, you’ll find videos, articles, methodologies, and more. Together, these resources explain why water matters to Amazon and what we’re doing to help protect it. You’ll also find more information about our tiered approach to water usage, which taps into the following three strategies:
Reduce
We increase our water use efficiency and work to reduce local withdrawals by installing water-conserving measures in buildings. We also track water use in real time to help minimize water lost by leaks.
