These are just a few examples of how we are taking big swings to decarbonize our operations. By the end of 2022, we had 396 companies sign the pledge, and today, there are more than 400 across 55 industries and 39 countries. We co-founded The Climate Pledge, a commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040. We had more than 9,000 electric delivery vehicles in our global fleet, and 145 million packages were delivered by EVs in the U.S. This includes more than 400 wind and solar projects from around the world. In 2022, 90% of the electricity consumed by Amazon was powered by renewable energy sources. That is the weight of more than 230 Space Needles - the iconic Seattle landmark located near our HQ. Since 2015, we've reduced the average weight of packaging per shipment by 41%, avoiding more than 2 million metric tons of packaging.
