02 Apr: Best Buy statement on voter access

This moment in our country’s history is fraught with political and social division. There are increasingly few things we can all agree on, but one, we believe, is that the bedrock of the democracy we love is the right to a free and fair election. An election cannot be free nor fair if every eligible voter is not given a full chance to vote, or if laws exist that make it harder to do so. 

To the extent that proposed pieces of legislation are designed to make it more difficult for eligible Americans to cast a ballot, we offer our strong opposition and urge legislators to vote no.

02 Mar: Best Buy Signs The Climate Pledge, Accelerating Sustainability Goals

Sustainability has been at the core of what we do at Best Buy for decades, and now we’re making our biggest commitment yet to positively impact the planet.

Today, we announced we have signed The Climate Pledge, a commitment to be carbon neutral across our business by 2040 — a decade faster than our previous goal of 2050.

The Climate Pledge was co-founded by Amazon and Global Optimism in 2019 to mobilize companies across multiple business sectors to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the United Nations’ Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
