E-commerce giant Amazon views the climate movement and Greta Thunberg as a threat to its business, Aftonbladet and Vice report.

According to Sweden’s Aftonbladet, Amazon has secretly mapped the climate movement, pointing to Greta Thunberg’s “Fridays for future” in a leaked report as a threat to her business.

– We are very honored, Thunberg writes in a comment about Twitter.

It is Vice magazine that has accessed the leaked report that private investigators have prepared on behalf of Amazon.

Private investigators have also mapped the union movement and other social groups and movements to see who could pose a threat to Amazon’s business.

– frankly

The documents from the “Amazon Global Security Operations Center” are dated 2019 and also identify the environmental organization Greenpeace and the Extinction Rebellion protest movement as potential threats.

– Honestly Amazon, if you think that school children fighting for the right to a secure future pose a threat to your business, then you should seriously consider what your priorities are, Thunberg tweeted in a comment.

Amazon is the largest company in the world and some accuse it of contributing to excessive consumption. The company is also accused of the union movement of underpayment and looting of employees.

Richest in the world

The founder of the company, Jeff Bezos, considered the richest man in the world, has gone public and has been heavily involved in the fight against climate change.

Among other things, Bezos has promised to make Amazon climate neutral by 2040 and has also promised to donate just over NOK 100 billion to the fight against climate change.

Amazon’s German press office reacts to coverage of the leaked report from “Amazon Global Security Operations Center”.

– Any attempt to cause a sensation with these activities, or to imply that we are doing something unusual or wrong, is irresponsible and wrong, they write to Aftonbladet.
