BizClik Chooses Amazon to Offset Carbon Emissions

Supply chain emissions account for the majority of carbon footprints across most industries. Companies addressing climate targets now face the challenge of reducing operational emissions while managing residual impacts that cannot yet be eliminated through direct action.

Carbon markets could offer a mechanism for businesses to address these remaining emissions. High-quality carbon credits support projects that either remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or prevent emissions from occurring.

Concerns about transparency and credibility mean businesses must evaluate carbon credit solutions with care.

Amazon has expanded its carbon credit service to qualified companies in the UK. The service forms part of the company's Sustainability Exchange and aims to simplify access to carbon credits while maintaining what Amazon describes as its scientific and environmental standards.

"The voluntary carbon market has been challenged with issues of transparency, credibility, and the availability of high-quality carbon credits, which has led to scepticism about nature and technological carbon removal as an effective tool to combat climate change," said Kara Hurst, Chief Sustainability Officer at Amazon.

“However, the science is clear: We must halt and reverse deforestation and restore millions of miles of forests to slow the worst effects of climate change.

“We're using our size and high vetting standards to help promote additional investments in nature, and we are excited to share this new opportunity with companies who are also committed to the difficult work of decarbonising their operations.”

Supply chain emissions strategy

BizClik operates as a global media and events company across multiple markets. The company has integrated carbon credits into its approach to addressing supply chain emissions that cannot yet be eliminated through operational changes.

“Our 2026 sustainability strategy represents our renewed commitment to building a resilient, inclusive and low-carbon future that thrives on innovation and collaboration ,” says Glen White, CEO of BizClik.

"What excites me most is how closely this aligns with our clients' own ambitions. Together, we can turn sustainability commitments into real, lasting impact-creating opportunities for collaboration, innovation and long-term value for everyone involved."

The company produces Supply Chain Magazine and hosts Supply Chain LIVE events. Through dedicated editorial platforms and executive communities, BizClik creates forums for discussion around climate innovation and business practices.

"At BizClik Media, sustainability is embedded into our long-term business strategy and the global platforms we build across media, events and executive communities," explains Stacy Green, Chief People and Sustainability Officer.

"As a growing international media and events company operating across multiple global markets, we recognise the importance of continuing to reduce operational emissions while also supporting credible climate solutions as part of our wider sustainability journey. We believe businesses should act now, not wait, and continue taking practical steps towards long-term environmental responsibility."

Climate action requires practical steps beyond strategy development. BizClik has chosen to integrate carbon credits as one component of its broader emissions management approach.

"BizClik is participating in Amazon's carbon credit service on the Sustainability Exchange, which has just expanded to qualified companies in the UK," Stacy continues.

“As part of our broader sustainability roadmap, we were looking for a solution that offered confidence in quality, transparency and alignment with our broader sustainability commitments, alongside access to a growing range of credit types across multiple climate solutions.

“With this service, we get credits sourced with the same industry-leading approach that Amazon uses for its own carbon neutralization and insetting strategies.”

Sourcing and verification process

Amazon's service addresses challenges businesses face when entering the voluntary carbon market. Sourcing credits requires expertise in project verification, risk assessment and impact evaluation.

Amazon manages sourcing, procurement, retirement and reporting for participating companies. Credits available through the service undergo vetting using the same approach Amazon applies to its own climate commitments.

The platform provides access to both carbon neutralization and insetting credits. This allows organizations to align carbon strategies with supply chain goals. According to Amazon, the service removes the operational burden of navigating the carbon market independently .

Only a small proportion of available credits meet what Amazon considers robust environmental and integrity standards. The service aims to filter credits based on quality thresholds.

Carbon removal project categories

Amazon's carbon credit service supports projects that span nature-based and technological solutions. Companies can select from multiple project types depending on their supply chain priorities and climate strategies.

Key categories include:

• Superpollutant abatement projects focused on the safe destruction of legacy refrigerants and reducing methane emissions from agricultural processes such as rice cultivation.
• Jurisdictional REDD+ programmes that protect forests, preserve biodiversity and support communities dependent on these ecosystems.
• Nature-based initiatives aimed at reforestation and ecosystem restoration with carbon sequestration potential.
• Direct air capture solutions that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it permanently.
• Insetting credits that support renewable fuel production to reduce lifecycle emissions within supply chains.

This range could allow organisations to support multiple climate solutions. The mix balances immediate impact projects with longer-term technological innovation.

Lower-carbon fuels represent one area where supply chain emissions reductions could be addressed through insetting credits. These credits support the production of renewable fuels within existing supply chains rather than offsetting emissions through external projects.

Companies managing complex global supply chains face emission sources that cannot be eliminated in the near term. Carbon credits could provide one mechanism for addressing these residual emissions while longer-term supply chain transformations take place.
