The company, which delivers about 10 billion items a year, has faced protests from environmental activists and pressure from employees to reduce its carbon footprint and take action on climate change. It has vowed to be net carbon neutral by 2040.

The 18,100-seat multi-purpose venue, to be named “Climate Pledge Arena”, located at Seattle Center is expected to host 200 events each year, the company said.

The venue is also the home stadium for national women’s basketball team Seattle Storm.
