Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

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.

We continue to make progress in building a more diverse workforce. Today, women lead many of our biggest and most important businesses, including our Retail, AWS, Devices and more.

We foster diversity and inclusion globally and look for ways to amplify underrepresented voices and empower diverse communities.

Our technology opens opportunities to entrepreneurs, authors, creators, and builders from all over the word—from individual sellers to small and medium-sized businesses. We work to build long-term partnerships with vendors and sellers who share our vision of advancing toward a more equitable future that improves the lives of people everywhere.

We partner with and support charitable and not-for-profit organisations that foster diversity and inclusion in the community – working side-by-side with partners to provide meaningful support at a local level where our employees live and work, as well as at a national level and global level.

In acknowledgement of the history of this Country, and of all the nations of people that it encompasses, Amazon Australia is committed to a meaningful reconciliation for First Australians its Reconciliation Action Plan. The plan — which is the first of four types outlined by Reconciliation Australia — aims to set the groundwork for more advanced steps in the future.
