Abstract
Global online retail has changed as e-commerce has expanded rapidly; however, the growth of e-retail has created new environmental challenges. This article examines the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to reduce the carbon footprint associated with online shopping. By analysing advanced AI-driven strategies in supply chain optimisation, logistics efficiency, and sustainable operational practices, the study explores how emerging technologies can enhance environmental responsibility within the e-commerce sector. The result demonstrates how Artificial Intelligence can contribute to sustainable growth and awareness related to environmental conservation within global retail networks.
Keywords
sustainable e-commerce, artificial intelligence, carbon footprint reduction, machine learning, and green technology.
