At Amazon, we are committed to and invested in safety—it’s good for our people, for our customers, for our communities, and for business.
Safety is integral to everything we do–every day, in every country, across our business. We continue to invest in capital improvements, new safety technology, vehicle safety controls, and engineered ergonomic solutions that aim to reduce and eliminate risks for our employees, partners, and communities.

We have 16 Leadership Principles, which describe how we do business and how our leaders lead. In 2021, we added two new Leadership Principles: Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer and Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility.
The Leadership Principle Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer challenges us to create “a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment,” and reinforces that nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our teams.
