Gravity Joins Amazon’s Sustainability Exchange

by Jon Seals | February 10, 2026 | | 0 comments

Gravity becomes one of two carbon measurement platforms recommended to Amazon suppliers

Corporate disclosure requirements have become one of the biggest forces driving emissions reporting. Major corporations across retail, pharma, and tech are requiring suppliers to share their carbon data so they can calculate Scope 3, or value chain greenhouse gas emissions—and Amazon is leading this shift.

With Scope 3 emissions accounting for approximately 75% of Amazon’s total carbon footprint, the company has made supplier reporting a business requirement. As part of its net-zero by 2040 commitment, tens of thousands of suppliers must now measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions, set reduction goals, and—for the highest-emitting suppliers—provide detailed decarbonization plans.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Gravity is now one of two emissions measurement platforms featured on the Amazon Sustainability Exchange, which helps Amazon suppliers make meaningful progress on sustainability through vetted, practical resources.

The Supply Chain Measurement Challenge

The numbers tell the story. Amazon’s footprint includes 51.76 million metric tons of emissions originating beyond the company’s direct control—emissions generated by suppliers and other partners. Addressing this requires supplier action at scale, and Amazon has made reporting a condition of doing business.

But measurement at scale is complex. According to the GHG Protocol, 83% of companies struggle to access accurate emissions data. Suppliers face fragmented systems, inconsistent standards, and data scattered across utility bills, procurement platforms, and operational records. Only 56% of suppliers currently provide emissions data to corporate customers, often citing resource constraints or technical barriers.

For many suppliers—particularly those in manufacturing, logistics, and industrial operations—these requirements create operational burden. Data collection is still largely manual and time-intensive, reporting formats differ from customer to customer, and stretched sustainability teams struggle to absorb yet another disclosure request.

The Amazon Sustainability Exchange addresses this gap by connecting suppliers with solutions that streamline compliance while supporting broader sustainability objectives.

Why Gravity Was Selected

Resources on the Amazon Sustainability Exchange are vetted by subject-matter experts to ensure they can deliver practical value. Gravity’s selection reflects our track record with energy-intensive operations and complex supply chains—the companies now reporting to Amazon.

Our platform automates Scope 1-3 emissions data collection and reporting, with no data templates required. AI-powered bill scanning eliminates the manual work that typically dominates carbon accounting—one customer reported saving an estimated 4,600 hours annually, the equivalent of more than two full-time employees. For Amazon suppliers, this means audit-ready reports that meet tracking and goal-setting requirements without operational disruption.

But Gravity wasn’t built just to help companies report faster. Almost every kilogram of CO2 in Scopes 1 and 2 ties back to dollars spent on energy or fuel. The same data companies collect for Amazon can surface cost-saving opportunities.

Through Gravity’s Energy Management Marketplace, suppliers move from measurement to action with a trusted network of vetted implementation partners. AI-powered project extraction pulls recommendations from energy assessments and automatically calculates payback periods, marginal abatement costs, and emissions reductions. Cash flow forecasts and marginal abatement cost curves help teams prioritize projects with the highest ROI, while built-in project management tracks implementation progress across sites.

The marketplace has already generated tens of millions in customer savings. Reporting requirements aren’t going away, but they don’t have to be pure cost centers. With the right approach, the data companies collect for disclosure can identify opportunities to reduce energy spend and strengthen operations.

From Measurement to Action

Amazon’s supplier requirements reflect a broader reality: emissions measurement is becoming table stakes across major supply chains. New regulations including Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in Europe and California’s Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (CCDAA) are driving similar mandates across industries.

For suppliers, the question isn’t whether to measure emissions, but how to do it efficiently while extracting business value. With the right tools, what begins as a compliance requirement can become a foundation for operational improvements that deliver lasting returns.

Get Started

Amazon has provided a slew of resources to their suppliers to enable their sustainability efforts. Amazon suppliers can see all the resources on the Exchange—and find Gravity in the Measurement focus area under Measurement Tools!
