Despite these substantial emissions figures, Amazon Advertising LLC has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The organisation does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent company, indicating that the reported figures are solely from Amazon Advertising LLC. Overall, while the emissions data reflects a significant carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation.
