Twitch operates as a $1.8B streaming platform with zero standalone environmental reporting, relying entirely on Amazon's parent-level disclosures. The company has no emissions data, supply chain assessment, reduction targets, or sustainability governance. Amazon's own absolute emissions rose 6% in 2024 while it was removed from SBTi for failing to submit validated targets.
