On May 21, 2025, eBay Inc. published its 2024 Impact Report, detailing significant progress across its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The report highlighted that small businesses accounted for approximately 70% of eBay's Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) in its three highest-demand markets—the U.S., U.K., and Germany—in 2024.
The company achieved its goal of sourcing 100% renewable energy across all eBay-controlled offices, data centers, and authentication centers in 2024, one year ahead of schedule. eBay also set a new ambitious goal to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2045, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Recommerce, the sale of pre-loved and refurbished goods on the platform, generated $5 billion in positive economic impact for eBay in 2024. This activity also avoided 1.6 million metric tons of carbon emissions and prevented 70,000 metric tons of waste, demonstrating the tangible benefits of eBay's circular economy focus.
