About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    Love is in the air at Amazon! 💙 💍 When Beverlyn first joined Amazon, she had two big motivations—helping support her mom through chemotherapy and taking advantage of the company’s education benefits to build her future. Not long after, she encouraged her boyfriend, Casey, to apply too, knowing they could both pursue their degrees with Amazon’s financial assistance while working the same schedule. Even though they worked in different buildings, Beverlyn and Casey found creative ways to stay connected—whether it was through friendly competitions or just dreaming about their future together. Thanks to Amazon’s Career Choice program, which offers reimbursements for books and fees for front-line employees, Casey recently graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, and Beverlyn is just one year away from earning her BA in data analytics and Public Relations! Congratulations to our very own Beverlyn and Casey on their recent engagement, and wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day!

    Never drop the ball on a Valentine's Day or birthday gift again with Same-Day Delivery. 📦 🌹 Last year, we delivered at our fastest speeds around the world, with over 9 billion items delivered the same day or next. How did we do it? We shortened delivery distances by optimizing our operations and transportation networks, dividing them into smaller, easier-to-serve regions, and stocking more of the products our customers want locally. To ensure we deliver quickly and safely, we invested over $750 million in technologies, resources, training, and programs to improve safety across our network. The result? Faster deliveries, broader selection, and big savings for Prime members, who saved over $95 billion globally on fast, free delivery in 2024.

    I have made some unconventional choices in my career, but each risk has led me to even greater and unexpected opportunities. I've been very lucky, no doubt, but taking these kind of risks is how you "make your own luck." Taking what appeared to be a step back mid-career enabled me to find my way to Amazon, ultimately leading me to start the Pro Bono Program here at Amazon, serving people in our community the way I got the chance to serve families and children when I started my legal career. That program just turned 10 years old and I couldn't be more proud. Thank you, LinkedIn for featuring some of the insights I've learned along my winding journey.

    "I decided to do what many thought was a step back in my career, and that changed everything." David Zapolsky started in the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, prosecuting sex crimes, child abuse and domestic violence cases. But a subsequent move into private practice at a BigLaw firm prompted a period of introspection, which gathered steam. As he gamed out the perfect trajectory, he realized it was not what he wanted out of life. With a clean break to Seattle, "Not only was I able to build a better family life, but I was also able to return to my roots of serving people in the community that were local clients with local problems," Zapolsky told Catalyst. It also set off a chain reaction that eventually landed him at Amazon where, a quarter century later, he's SVP for Global Public Policy & General Counsel. But it might never had been if he hadn't taken a step back. "If you know that the course of following the most prestigious position is ultimately not going to be fulfilling or happy for you," Zapolsky said, "you should take that signal seriously." "If you're not happy, where does that get you?"

    We just released our Q4 and full year 2024 earnings, with fourth quarter revenue of $187.8B, up 10% year over year. Thanks to our customers, sellers, and employees around the world, we have much to be proud of from 2024. We achieved significant milestones in AI innovation, including our Nova foundation models and Trainium2. Prime members experienced our fastest delivery speeds ever, and a growing range of entertainment offerings – Thursday Night Football, Red One, Mr. Beast and more – and saved billions during our holiday shopping events. I look forward to all that we’ll continue to deliver for customers together in 2025. https://lnkd.in/g9wibT4E

    When we launched Prime in 2005, with fast, free delivery, it changed customers’ expectations. We aim to keep exceeding their expectations to help members get what they need and want – at record speeds. I’m excited to share that in 2024, Amazon delivered at our fastest speeds ever for Prime members globally, with more than 9 billion units arriving the same or next day around the world. And Prime members saved more money than ever before – globally, members saved $95 billion in fast, free delivery. In the U.S., members saved an average of $500 in delivery fees.   A big thank you to the many teams across Amazon who have helped make this possible. And to Prime members for your continued trust in Amazon. https://lnkd.in/gMEJpXi5

    Sappiamo tutti che i gatti amano giocare con le scatole. E se noi continuiamo a ridurre gli imballaggi, inviandone meno per le nostre spedizioni, i gatti di tutto il mondo non possono esserne contenti! 🐈 La buona notizia? Ci siamo impegnati a sostituire le scatole con buste di carta facilmente riciclabili, e a ridurre gli imballaggi aggiuntivi per i prodotti che possono essere spediti in modo sicuro anche senza. Hai capito bene: in alcuni casi aggiungiamo solo l'etichetta di spedizione! Dal 2015, abbiamo ridotto il peso degli imballaggi in uscita in media del 43%, risparmiando oltre 3 milioni di tonnellate di materiale da imballaggio. 💚 Sì, c'è anche una cattiva notizia: guarda il tuo gatto, in questo momento potrebbe avere il cuore spezzato... Ma non preoccuparti, se vorrai, potrai sempre richiedere un imballaggio Amazon aggiuntivo al momento del check-out. 📦

    Katzen lieben Kartons – daher schlechte Nachrichten für sie: Wir reduzieren Verpackungen und verschicken immer weniger Sendungen in einem Karton. 😿 Die gute Nachricht? Seit 2015 haben wir im Schnitt 43 % Verpackungsgewicht pro Sendung eingespart – das entspricht über 3 Millionen Tonnen weniger Material! Statt Kartons gibt’s immer öfter recycelbare Tüten, Umschläge oder nur ein Versandlabel ohne Zusatzverpackung von Amazon. 🌍💪 Ist Deine Katze traurig? Keine Sorge: Amazon-Verpackung gibt’s auf Wunsch weiterhin beim Checkout.🐾📦
