Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are a company of builders who bring varying backgrounds, ideas, and points of view to inventing on behalf of our customers. Our diverse perspectives come from many sources. Amazon is committed to building an inclusive culture, serving a vast and diverse customer base, and we always look for ways to scale our impact as we grow.
Amazon's Commitment to Customers, Communities, and Employees.
From the first book we delivered in 1995 to today’s tech advances we once only imagined, Amazon delivers inclusive experiences and technology to over 60 countries around the world. Together, our employees harness the power of our differences to build a brighter future for each other, our customers, and the community.
Creating a workplace that is inclusive
Amazon’s ability to innovate on behalf of our customers relies on the perspectives and knowledge of people from all backgrounds.
We believe that building a culture that is welcoming and inclusive is integral to people doing their best work and is essential to what we can achieve as a company. We actively recruit people from diverse backgrounds to build a supportive and inclusive workplace. We take steps to ensure employees have a sense of belonging, value, and opportunity. This includes publishing our Gender Pay Gap for our total UK workforce each year.
Our partnerships with universities, institutions and colleges allow us to hire candidates from a range of educational and socio-economic backgrounds. We also have initiatives that focus on gender diversity and inclusion, building skills for tech leaders from diverse backgrounds, empowering the next generation with opportunities in STEM programmes, celebrating our LGBTQ+ community, military initiatives and more.
