Sam Bowerman

I am a sustainability strategist with over 15 years of experience decarbonizing and preserving the natural environment. At Amazon, I currently lead strategic decarbonization for our Global Logistics team, including maritime, aviation, and heavy-duty trucking operations. From executing regulatory remediation projects to designing and implementing innovative sustainability solutions, I am driven by doing what's right for people and the planet. My career spans the evolution of corporate sustainability, from traditional environmental compliance to today's urgent focus on climate action and supply chain decarbonization. I bring deep expertise in emissions measurement and reduction, carbon accounting, and supply chain sustainability, consistently delivering measurable results through data-driven strategies and cross-functional collaboration. I believe successful sustainability transformation requires two fundamental elements: Strategic Innovation: By connecting ideas across teams and projects, I transform complex environmental challenges into actionable business opportunities. My background in environmental science and data analysis enables me to develop clear, effective strategies that align sustainability goals with business objectives. Collaborative Leadership: As an Olympic Silver Medalist and World Champion rower, I understand that extraordinary achievements require both individual excellence and team synergy. I bring this same mindset to sustainability and business initiatives, supporting and developing those around me to consistently raise the bar for excellence. I am an avid supporter of the low carbon fuel transition and passionate about accelerating the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices. My approach combines technical expertise with strategic vision, whether developing net-zero emission pathways or implementing supply chain standards that drive meaningful environmental impact.
