Twitch publishes no standalone environmental data despite operating a $1.8B platform with 240M+ monthly users. Its parent Amazon's emissions rose 6% in 2024 while the company was removed from SBTi for missing climate targets. Twitch has zero measurable environmental commitments, governance, or supply chain oversight.
