This might seem an odd one to have on the list since huge corporations are the biggest culprit when it comes to the issues our planet faces. No one here is denying that Amazon has got a lot of responsibility resting on their shoulders. But, unlike others, Amazon is actually one of the big companies that are actively engaging in several eco-friendly schemes and being innovative in finding improvements and solutions. For example, after much feedback, they developed a software program to determine the 'right-sized' box which has significantly reduced unnecessary packaging waste. Plus most Amazon orders now come in 100% recovered fibre content that is fully recyclable. Amazon also has a specialist website called 'amazon.co.uk/green' where customers have selected a list of green products to recommend to each other. Amazon is a huge participant in charitable causes which help develop the fields of education and health.
