Investor Details

The Climate Pledge Fund is a corporate venture capital fund established by Amazon to invest in companies developing sustainable and decarbonizing technologies. Launched in 2020 with an initial $2 billion in funding, the fund aims to support innovations that will help Amazon and other companies achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The fund focuses on sectors such as transportation and logistics, energy generation, storage and utilization, manufacturing and materials, food and agriculture, and the circular economy.

The fund seeks to invest in companies of various sizes, from startups to well-established enterprises, that are developing solutions to reduce the overall cost of decarbonization. Investment opportunities are primarily in the form of preferred equity or convertible debt. The Climate Pledge Fund has made investments in several companies, including CarbonCure Technologies, Pachama, Redwood Materials, Rivian, and Turntide Technologies.

The Climate Pledge Fund is part of Amazon's broader commitment to sustainability and its goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The fund complements Amazon's other sustainability initiatives, such as the Right Now Climate Fund, which invests in nature-based solutions and reforestation projects, and the Climate Pledge Friendly program, which helps customers discover and shop for more sustainable products. Through these efforts, Amazon aims to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy and support the development of technologies that can mitigate climate change.
