Chris Atkins, director of Worldwide Ops Sustainability, walks us through some of the highlights coming out of Climate Week NYC 2024.
- Things are happening fast. I was impressed and a little bit astonished at the momentum we’ve gained over the last 12 months. More and more people are stepping up to consider the ways their business and industry can take climate action. Wherever you work, I encourage you to really think about what waste and inefficiencies exist. Bring a climate action lens to every decision you make every day: you’ll find the right solutions for our planet.
- The Climate Pledge is driving action. It struck me that Amazon and the Climate Pledge are deeply involved in so many of the solutions that are necessary right now to take action against climate change. The power of the Pledge is its ability to bring signatories together.
- Electrification will be a critical component of our effort to decarbonize our on-road vehicles. I joined a discussion on what we need to put more electric vehicles on the road and I’m excited to see even more packages delivered by EVs globally as a result.
- Collaboration drives most impact. One long-term goal is to decarbonize our Operations, but we can’t just focus on what we can do in our existing operations. Amazon is working closely with steel production companies and supporting their research into new low-carbon steel. Long term we can use this steel in the sites of tomorrow, lowering the emissions of our future Operations.
- There’s cause to be hopeful. Fast forward 12 or 24 months, and I think the world will have made big strides forward in deploying the low carbon solutions that we need to scale up quickly and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. I’m proud of where we’re going and I’m proud of the work that you all are doing. From reducing waste to renewable energy, the momentum of change is now with us.

Policy Reminders for a Safe and Fun Workplace
Published:
Dec 05, 2024
At Amazon, we're customer obsessed for both our employees and our customers. We strive to have fun, operate safely and respectfully, and deliver for our customers as a team. To do this, we must all
work better together to drive a positive working culture. It’s important for each of us to keep ourselves and workplace organized, safe, and ready to delight our customers.
Please review the below policies and make every effort to operate within them while employed at Amazon:
Working Hours Policy: Your safety and wellness are important to Amazon. Working hard also includes taking appropriate meal periods and
rest breaks. If you work more than five hours* in the workday, you're required to take an uninterrupted, work-free 30-minute meal period. This includes employees who work a single shift that's longer
than five hours or who work multiple shifts in a single workday that total more than five hours. Amazon expects managers who supervise hourly employees to provide employees with meal periods and rest
breaks in compliance with Amazon’s policies, federal and state law. Employees are responsible for taking all meal periods and rest breaks provided to them.
Owner’s Manual and Guide to Employment: This summarizes Amazon's basic personnel policies and practices, and is intended to serve as a resource concerning your employment at Amazon. It's designed to
provide you with an overview of Amazon's policies, procedures, and benefits.
Anti-Harassment: Amazon complies with laws against harassing conduct. We prohibit harassment based on a variety of personal characteristics including but not limited to age, color, creed, disability,
ethnicity, gender identity, national origin, maternity status, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation.
Security Standards of Conduct: To protect the people, information, and assets of Amazon, Amazon people must conduct themselves in a manner that promotes a safe and secure work environment. This
standard provides the global baseline requirements for classifying and reporting security infractions. Deviation from this standard will expose Amazon to risks impacting people, information, and/or
assets.
Business Code of Conduct & Ethics: In performing their job duties, Amazon.com employees should always act lawfully, ethically, and in the best interests of Amazon.com. This Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct") sets out basic guiding principles. Employees who are unsure whether their conduct or the conduct of their coworkers complies with the Code of Conduct should
contact their manager or the Legal Department.
Please review these policies, and reach out to your manager with any questions you may have. You're welcome to reference these policies at any time on the A to Z app, or visit the MyHR tool for
additional help.

Our hearts are with our employees and partners affected by both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.
With thousands of Amazon employees in Milton’s path, making sure our employees are safe has been our top priority. We activated emergency protocols to ensure their well-being and ensure our sites remain safe.
Additionally, Amazon has delivered more than 40 truckloads of essential items from our Disaster Relief Hub to relief partners working in the affected areas, and we will continue to dispatch Amazon-donated relief supplies through these next few weeks.
We're here to support those impacted during this difficult time. If you or your family are facing new or ongoing challenges due to the hurricanes, we have resources available to support you. You can find them on the Disaster Relief Guide here on A to Z.
Many Amazonians have asked how they can help. A virtual volunteer opportunity is available to take support calls from community members asking for help with property cleanup. Training resources are available for volunteers. Learn more here.
In addition, Amazon has created a donation page for those who would like to help those in need financially. A tax-deductible donation will help deliver critical supplies, temporary shelter, medical care, and other emergency assistance through our humanitarian partners.

When Lina Hernandez moved to the United States from Colombia, she never imagined she would one day achieve the American dream of
homeownership. Now she proudly stands as a homeowner and an Amazon robotics trainer at ACY5 in New Jersey.
Lina’s journey was anything but easy. She became a single mother at a very young age and faced the daunting challenge of navigating life in a new country where she spoke very little English. “I just needed a paycheck,” Lina said. “I had to reinvent myself.”
Lina's determination to succeed grew stronger as she settled into her Tier 1 role. She decided to make Amazon her career and continued to develop new skills through upskilling initiatives, including Career Choice and free training in robotics opportunities.
“One of the great parts of working for Amazon is that if you are inquisitive, and you show that you work hard, you will be recognized,” Lina said. “Someone is going to discover you."
