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.

Twitch scores 28/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places Twitch joint 658th of 847 companies scored, and 12th of 19 in Media / Entertainment / Publishing.
