Employees are the heart of Amazon. It's why we're committed to providing employees with healthcare and financial benefits that start on day one, opportunities for career advancement, and a safe and equitable workplace.
- Healthcare benefits start on Day 1 for many Amazon employees
- We've committed $1.2 billion to provide pre-paid education and free skills training to employees
- We’re continuing to make year-over-year progress on safety; in the U.S., we’ve improved our Recordable Incident Rate (RIR) by 28% and Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) by 75% since 2019
Amazon is committed to the success of small businesses. We invest billions of dollars annually to provide entrepreneurs with a constantly improving set of tools and resources to help them gain access to capital, quickly launch in our store, and build their brands.
- Over 60% of sales in Amazon's store come from independent sellers - most of which are small to medium-sized businesses
- Independent sellers in Amazon’s store employed more than 1.8 million people in the U.S.
Our investments and job creation efforts have unlocked new opportunities for hundreds of thousands of families across the U.S. and around the world. But our support goes beyond creating jobs—we use our scale, technology, resources, and passion for invention to help the communities where we operate thrive.
- We've committed $3.6 billion to building and preserving 35,000 affordable homes in our hometown communities
- 34 million free meals have been delivered to families in more than 35 U.S. cities
We are investing in technologies and new approaches for transportation, packaging, and energy to address climate change—all without sacrificing the speed and service customers expect from Amazon. It’s why we co-founded The Climate Pledge, a commitment to be net-zero carbon by 2040—10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.
- We reached our goal to match 100% of the electricity we use across our operations with renewable energy in 2023—seven years early
- We put more than 24,000 electric delivery vehicles on the road globally
- We removed plastic air pillows from all delivery packaging at fulfillment centers globally, among other progress areas
