Telly Awards recognize Amazon Sustainability

Visual storytelling illustrating Amazon’s approach to sustainability earned awards across multiple categories.

Videos produced by The Climate Pledge and Amazon Worldwide Sustainability earned multiple honors at the 2025 Telly Awards. Now in its 46th year, the Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television across all screens and receive more than 13,000 entries annually. This year’s winners also included Pixar Animation Studios, Hearst Media, ESPN, LinkedIn, and NASA.

“Our industry is experimenting with new technologies like never before, shaping truly compelling stories to draw attention to some of the world’s most pressing issues,” said Amanda Needham, Telly Awards Managing Director.

"We are so grateful to be recognized for these awards—the most powerful storytelling happens when you center authentic human narratives, and each one of these films does just that. From showcasing Climate Pledge Arena's locally sourced food program in '300 Mile Menu,' to capturing the global impact of The Climate Pledge's first five years, our approach has always been to find the personal stories within our broader sustainability mission," said Alissa Hudson, executive producer for Amazon Sustainability. "None of this would be possible without supportive leadership and flexible partners across our teams who trust us to push creative boundaries."
