Amazon’s Board of Directors is responsible for the control and direction of the company.
The Board represents the shareholders and its primary purpose is to build long-term shareholder value. The full Board regularly reviews reports from management on various aspects of our business, including related risks and strategies for addressing them. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, the Board has delegated responsibility related to certain risks to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, and the Audit Committee.
