It's the biggest employee-driven push against climate risk in the tech industry yet.
Over 3,500 Amazon employees on Wednesday urged the company to take aggressive action on climate change and reduce its carbon footprint.
The letter represents the biggest employee-driven push against climate risk in the tech industry yet, as activist tech workers increasingly launch public campaigns to pressure employers on issues like workplace sexual harassment and employee wages. Workers also urged Amazon to terminate all custom solutions specifically designed for oil and gas extraction and exploration, undergo a"complete transition" from fossil fuels and reduce its pollution in vulnerable communities.
An Amazon spokesperson did not comment on the letter but told CNBC the company is taking many steps to address climate change.
