Amazon
Through its Sustainability Exchange, Amazon expanded the types of carbon credits it offers to qualified companies to include superpollutant neutralization credits and lower-carbon fuel (LCF) inset credits. The high-quality superpollutant credits support the safe destruction of refrigerant gases, and the LCF credits enable the purchase of environmental attribute certificates (EACs) of renewable diesel and biodiesel made of waste-based feedstocks, when direct purchase of renewable fuels is not economically feasible.
