NEW YORK -- When a company pledges to reduce its carbon footprint, it starts by cutting emissions from its own buildings and vehicles. It can also opt to use renewable energy rather than purchase coal-generated electricity. For an e-commerce giant like Alibaba Group Holding, it can also team with partners up and down the value chain to, say, reduce excessive packaging and use greener delivery trucks.
