Target Corp. and Amazon Fresh are taking necessary measures to seek net zero certification from the International Living Future Institute, a nonprofit firm promoting sustainability measures. Amazon Fresh store in Seattle will become the world’s first grocery outlet to seek the ILFI Zero Carbon certification. The 35,000 square-foot store has installed updated technology such as a CO2-based refrigeration system capable of lowering 38 metric tons per year of greenhouse gas emissions compared to a traditional refrigerator. The store will also use steel byproducts and 100% renewable electricity generated from Amazon’s energy programmes to reduce carbon emissions. After Target, Amazon is gearing up to become a net-zero carbon business by 2040.
