The appeal of the Clean Energy Procurement Academy “ Amazon is committed to reaching net zero carbon as part of our Climate Pledge commitment . Part of this work includes helping our global suppliers of Amazonbranded devices transition to clean energy sources ,” explains Dr Matteo Kausch who leads Supply Chain Sustainability for Amazonbranded consumer electronics . “ Some supply chain partners lack the practical knowledge necessary to effectively procure clean energy in their markets . Many of our suppliers operate in regions with complicated energy markets and evolving regulations that impact their ability to procure clean energy ,” he adds .
Kausch feels that a significant part of the appeal of the academy is it gives suppliers a single and trusted resource to help them on their journey , and gives Amazon an opportunity to collaborate with other industry leading companies . “ It frees our resources and those of suppliers from having to continuously research solutions and focus on implementing them instead ,” he explains .
