Our commitment to celebrating diversity

We commit in our everyday work to building a diverse and inclusive culture at Amazon and are always looking for new ways to make a positive impact for the long term. Our 2021 company-wide goals for diversity, equity, and inclusion focus on increasing diversity in our hiring, building the most inclusive work environment that we can, and ensuring equitable access for all.

Affinity groups at Amazon bring Amazon employees together across businesses and locations around the world through initiatives and events, among which are, to name a few: the celebrations of Pride month and International Women’s Day, bringing forward women empowerment with the HERoes Women Role Model Lists, or commemorating important moments for Black communities with the celebration of the Black History Month in EU. And we want to keep doing more. As pointed out by Beth Galetti, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Amazon: “We are committed to fostering a culture in which inclusion is the norm for all Amazonians.”
