Item 9-Shareholder Proposal Requesting a Report on Worker Health
and Safety Differences
Why We Recommend You Vote Against This Proposal
We have committed to conducting and publicly releasing the results of an independent racial equity audit that will evaluate
any disparate racial impacts on our nearly one million U.S. hourly employees resulting from our policies, programs, and
practices
Our report, "Delivered with Care," on our website at https://safety.aboutamazon.com/delivered-with-care discusses our
commitment and efforts to improve workplace safety and discloses our workforce incident rates:
➤ Our Lost Time Incident Rate was 2.3 globally and 2.6 in the United States in 2020, a 43% and 49% improvement from
2019, respectively
Our Recordable Incident Rate was 5.1 globally and 6.5 in the United States in 2020, a 24% and 25% improvement from
2019, respectively
Our Serious Injury Rate globally was 0.220, a 20% improvement from 2019
We report how these incident rates compare to a variety of industries
Our Board has direct oversight of employee well-being and workplace safety, and regularly reviews these matters
We have incurred more than $15 billion in COVID-19-related costs to help keep our employees safe and deliver for our
customers; and also committed an additional over $300 million to non-COVID-19-related safety projects in 2021
Proponents: New York City Comptroller on behalf of New York City Teachers' Retirement System, New York City Employees'
