Amazon has expanded its carbon credit service to the United Kingdom, marking its first international rollout of a program designed to help companies access vetted carbon credits for use in decarbonization and emissions offsetting strategies.

The service, which launched in the United States in 2025, provides companies with access to pre-screened carbon neutralization and inset credits, while handling procurement, verification and retirement processes. Amazon said the expansion will allow eligible UK-based companies, including suppliers, enterprise customers and Climate Pledge signatories, to use the same credit portfolio already available in the U.S.

The company said the voluntary carbon market remains difficult to navigate due to inconsistent standards and limited supply of high-quality credits. It said its service applies strict internal criteria, including science-based vetting, third-party verification and project-level documentation, to ensure quality and transparency.

Amazon’s program includes credits from areas such as methane reduction, forest conservation, ecosystem restoration, and technological carbon removal. It also offers inset credits tied to lower-carbon fuels, which are designed to support emissions reductions within supply chains such as transportation.

Eligibility requires participating companies to maintain net-zero emissions targets covering Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and to regularly measure and report greenhouse gas emissions. Amazon said all credits are retired on behalf of customers and disclosed through public registries to support reporting transparency.
