It is well known that the massive production of greenhouse gases is causing global temperatures to rise. It is worth considering whether Amazon, the world's leading e-commerce company and one of the most popular brands, is currently taking steps to support Sustainable Development Goal 13(SDG 13) on climate change. This research will examine Amazon's stakeholder efforts to support SDG 13 and explore stakeholder behavior using a disciplined stakeholder analysis. This research will make recommendations for Amazon.com to reduce the number of deliveries and invest in new technologies, but it is clear that the downsides of these recommendations are also evident.
