Governance
We integrate sustainability practices into our everyday operations through goal-setting, metrics, and quarterly business reviews.
Amazon governance
Our science-based, customer-centric approach involves a variety of mechanisms to integrate sustainability throughout Amazon’s business operations.
As part of our sustainability efforts, Amazon advocates in support of public policy that advances access to and the expansion of clean energy.
See how our sustainability initiatives link to United Nations global goals on issues including gender equality, health, and education.
From the associates in our fulfillment centers, to the drivers delivering packages to our customers, to the factory workers making the products we sell—people are critical to our mission of being earth’s most customer-centric company. These values have been long-held at Amazon and codifying them into a set of Human Rights Principles demonstrates our support for fundamental human rights and the dignity of workers everywhere we operate around the world. We are committed to embedding respect for human rights throughout our business.
