Amazon's climate pledge to be net-zero by 2040 | Dave Clark and Kara Hurst

Translator: Indiana Salsabila Reviewer: Ary Nuansa

Lindsay Levin: Dave, hanya dalam beberapa bulan,

Lindsay Levin: So Dave, in just a few months,

Anda telah menempati posisi baru sebagai CEO Consumer Retail di Amazon.

you transition into a new role as CEO of consumer retail at Amazon.

That's a big role.

Itu posisi yang penting.

How will climate sit as a priority for you,

Bagaimana permasalahan iklim akan Anda prioritaskan,

given all the other things you'll have on your plate?

mengingat banyaknya hal lain yang harus Anda urus?

Dave Clark: We've spent much of our end of the summer

Dave Clark: Kami menghabiskan sebagian besar akhir musim panas kami

in smoke-filled Seattle,

di Seattle yang penuh asap,

unable to enjoy the majestic Pacific Northwest due to all the fires

tidak bisa menikmati keindahan Barat Laut Pasifik

karena api kebakaran

that encompassed the West Coast of the US this summer.

yang menutupi Pesisir Barat AS musim panas ini.

Climate is a very real challenge for all of us, not just at Amazon,

Permasalahan iklim adalah tantangan nyata bagi kita semua,

bukan hanya di Amazon, tapi juga di keseharian kita.

but in our daily lives at this point.

And I've been focused on this with the team and with Kara for years now.

Dan saya sudah berfokus pada hal ini, bersama tim saya dan Kara,

selama bertahun-tahun.

In fact, we've embedded the sustainability teams

Bahkan, kami menyatukan tim keberlanjutan

inside of our operations team,

ke dalam tim operasi kami,

as opposed to being a separate part of the company,

alih-alih memisahkan keduanya dalam perusahaan kami

because we wanted those teams connected with the groups

karena kami mau tim-tim itu terhubung dengan grup

that can actually make change.

yang memang bisa membuat perubahan.

LL: Kara, can you describe a couple of the biggest hurdles you face

LL: Kara, bisakah Anda menjelaskan beberapa tantangan terbesar

as you work to reduce the carbon footprint

selama Anda berusaha mengurangi jejak karbon

of a company like Amazon?

dari perusahaan seperti Amazon?

Kara Hurst: One of the really exciting but also complex things about Amazon

Kara Hurts: Salah satu hal paling menarik tapi juga kompleks terkait Amazon

is the diversity of businesses that we're in,

adalah keberagaman bisnis yang kami naungi,

the range of services and products,

ragam layanan dan produk, industri

of industries and different types of buildings and stores

berbagai tipe bangunan serta toko

and fulfillment centers,

juga pusat penyimpanan,

and of course, all of our online infrastructure and business as well.

dan tentunya semua infrastruktur dan bisnis online kami.

And we're committed to reaching net zero emissions.

Dan kami berkomitmen mengurangi emisi karbon hingga nol.

I think our size and our scale can actually be a tremendous advantage.

Saya rasa ukuran dan skala perusahaan kami

justru bisa jadi keunggulan besar.

It forces us to think about our carbon footprint

Hal itu mendorong kami untuk memikirkan jejak karbon

throughout all of our businesses,

pada semua aktivitas bisnis,

our operations, our technologies, our services, our products.

operasi, teknologi, layanan, dan produk kami.

And at one end,

Dan di satu sisi,

we want to power our operations by 100 percent renewable energy by 2025,

kami mau menyokong operasi kami dengan energi terbarukan 100% pada 2025,

but we're also making sure that when you receive a shipment,

tapi kami juga memastikan bahwa saat Anda menerima kiriman,

we're at net zero carbon all the way through those operations.

kami menjalani semua tahap operasinya tanpa emisi karbon.

And we want to do this in a very Amazonian way.

Dan kami mau melakukan hal ini dengan pendekatan "Amazon".

So we took a number of years to build what we call "a carbon system of record."

Jadi kami menghabiskan beberapa tahun membangun "system of record (SOR) karbon".

These are tools that allow us to think about this holistically

Ini merupakan alat-alat yang memungkinkan kami memikirkan hal ini

across the company.

secara menyeluruh di perusahaan.

LL: Dave, Amazon has made a pledge,

LL: Dave, Amazon membuat sumpah,

you call it "the Climate Pledge,"

yang disebut "Climate Pledge",

to be net zero across your business by 2040.

berisi target emisi net-zero di semua bisnis pada 2040.

That's 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.

Ini berarti 10 tahun mendahului Perjanjian Paris.

Give us a sense of the scale of transformation that that calls for

Berikan gambaran skala perubahan yang dibutuhkan

across your operations.

di seluruh proses operasi.

DC: It's very daunting.

DC: Ini tentunya menakutkan.

When we started this process,

Saat kami memulai proses ini,

we started from a position of science,

kami mengawalinya dari sains,

of digging in and understanding all the inputs of our business,

dengan menggali dan mempelajari semua input bisnis kami,

what parts of our business create and put carbon into the environment,

bagian apa saja yang menciptakan dan menyebarkan karbon ke lingkungan,

what are the elements, each piece of that process,

elemen apa saja, setiap bagian dari proses itu,

and how do we improve them.

dan bagaimana kami memperbaikinya.

And as we started looking at that,

Dan begitu kami mulai menelaah, kami berkata,

we said, well, how are we going to meet these objectives?

"Bagaimana caranya mencapai semua target ini?"

And it really requires innovation across almost every aspect of the business,

Dan memang benar-benar butuh inovasi di hampir semua aspek bisnis,

whether it be in our renewable space,

baik di bagian energi terbarukan kami,

whether it be in electrification of our vehicles,

penggunaan tenaga listrik untuk kendaraan kami,

whether it be in our packaging and processes,

pembungkusan dan pemrosesan kami,

whether it be working with manufacturers.

atau bekerja dengan pihak pabrik.

Essentially, the entire span of our supply chain

Intinya, seluruh bagian rantai pasok kami

is required to modify to meet the objectives of this over time,

harus menyesuaikan diri demi mencapai objektif ini,

which is why the Climate Pledge was so important.

dan ini mengapa Climate Pledge sangat penting.

LL: Kara, the Climate Pledge is not just about Amazon.

LL: Kara, Climate Pledge bukan hanya tentang Amazon.

You're inviting other companies to join you.

Anda mengundang perusahaan lain untuk bergabung.

KH: We know with the Climate Pledge we cannot do this alone.

KH: Kami tahu kami tidak bisa melakukan ini sendiri.

It's going to take companies,

Hal ini membutuhkan perusahaan lain,

but partnership also with governments and communities and individuals

juga kerja sama dengan pemerintah serta komunitas dan individu

who will come up with solutions and new technologies.

yang akan mengajukan solusi dan teknologi baru.

We want to engage our full supply chain

Kami ingin melibatkan keseluruhan rantai pasok kami

as well as other companies,

juga perusahaan lain,

and we're really excited that already 11 major organizations

dan kami sangat senang bahwa sudah ada 11 organisasi besar

have signed on to the Climate Pledge with us.

yang menandatangani Climate Pledge bersama kami.

We want to accelerate innovation,

Kami ingin mempercepat inovasi,

and we've established a two-billion-dollar Climate Pledge Fund

dan kami telah menetapkan pembiayaan sebanyak 2 juta dolar

to invest in these companies

untuk investasi pada perusahaan-perusahaan

whose products and solutions will facilitate the transition

yang produk dan solusinya dapat memfasilitasi pergeseran

menuju ekonomi rendah karbon.

to a low-carbon economy.

So we know this is a very ambitious challenge,

Jadi kami tahu ini merupakan tantangan ambisius

but we want to make the greatest impact in the shortest possible timeline,

tapi kami mau membuat pengaruh terbesar dalam waktu sesingkat mungkin,

and it's exciting to share the complexity about how we think about this at Amazon

dan menyenangkan rasanya berbagi kerumitan mengenai pemikiran kami di Amazon

with other companies

dengan perusahaan lain

and invite them to come along with us.

serta mengundang mereka untuk ikut terlibat.

LL: Dave, when a company like Amazon moves,

LL: Dave, saat perusahaan seperti Amazon bergerak,

it can have a huge impact across supply chains.

ini dapat berdampak besar di sepanjang rantai pasok.

Give us an example or two of how a decision that you've made

Berikan satu atau dua contoh yang menunjukkan bagaimana keputusan Anda

is catalyzing innovation across the sector.

menjadi katalisator inovasi di berbagai sektor.

DC: I can tell you, just the example of Rivian.

DC: Saya bisa katakan, contohnya saja Rivian.

Rivian is the electric vehicle manufacturer

Rivian adalah pembuat kendaraan elektrik

that is going to build 100,000 electric delivery vehicles

yang akan membuat 100.000 kendaraan pengantar elektrik

untuk proses pengantaran kami.

for our delivery fleet.

When we went out and made this investment,

Saat kami membuat investasi ini,

the number of new companies that started to spawn

jumlah perusahaan baru yang bermunculan

relative to supporting Rivian,

yang mendukung visi Rivian,

to new electric delivery vehicles,

yang mendukung kendaraan pengantar listrik baru,

to even alternative fuels --

bahkan bahan bakar alternatif —

we started getting calls about alternative jet fuel

kami mulai mendapat banyak telepon terkait bahan bakar jet alternatif

the day we put out that announcement on Rivian.

di hari kami mengeluarkan pengumuman terkait Rivian.

So as soon as people saw that we were going to invest real capital

Jadi begitu orang-orang melihat bahwa kami akan berinvestasi nyata

for substantive portions of our operations --

untuk sebagian besar operasi kami —

these aren't hobbies,

hal-hal ini bukanlah hobi,

but putting real money into big pieces of our operations --

melainkan meletakkan uang nyata ke bagian-bagian besar operasi kami —

it was amazing, the amount of companies that started coming out

Sungguh luar biasa, dengan jumlah perusahaan yang mulai muncul

who had an emergent technology here

yang dilengkapi teknologi baru

or had a great idea and needed help in getting manufacturing started.

atau memiliki ide bagus dan butuh bantuan dalam memulai pembuatan.

There was just example after example of those.

Ada banyak sekali contoh seperti itu.

LL: Dave, Kara, thank you so much for being with us.

LL: Dave, Kara, terima kasih sudah hadir bersama kami.

We wish you every success with the Climate Pledge

Semoga sukses dengan Climate Pledge

and really can't wait to see the progress you guys are going to make.

dan kami menantikan progres yang akan kalian ciptakan.

DC: Thank you, it's an honor to be here and be part of such an amazing event.

DC: Terima kasih, sebuah kehormatan untuk bisa hadir

dan jadi bagian acara yang hebat.

KH: Thank you.

KH: Terima kasih.
