Amazon Web Services (AWS)ESG & Sustainability Jobs

Amazon's cloud computing platform, providing infrastructure, AI, and managed services to organizations worldwide.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the cloud computing division of Amazon, offering infrastructure, storage, databases, machine learning, and hundreds of other managed services to startups, enterprises, and governments. Its global network spans 39 regions and 123 availability zones, supporting workloads across virtually every industry.

Why it matters

Cloud computing has a direct sustainability dimension: shared, highly utilized data centers are generally more energy-efficient than the on-premises infrastructure they replace. AWS has publicly committed to powering its operations with 100% renewable energy and reaching net-zero carbon across its supply chain. The company employs dedicated sustainability teams - including ESG strategists and program managers - who work on measuring and reducing the environmental footprint of AWS infrastructure, developing customer-facing tools like the AWS Customer Carbon Footprint Tool, and advancing the company's broader climate commitments.

For sustainability professionals, AWS represents both a large corporate actor with its own ESG obligations and a platform whose efficiency gains can influence the carbon footprint of thousands of organizations that run workloads on it.
