Item 17—Shareholder Proposal Requesting Additional Reporting on
Gender/Racial Pay
Why We Recommend You Vote Against This Proposal
Amazon currently provides information on pay equity by gender and by race/ethnicity
When evaluating 2021 compensation, including base compensation, cash bonuses, and stock, our reported data demonstrates that women
globally and in the United States earned 99.8 cents and 99.9 cents, respectively, for every dollar that men earned performing the same
jobs
Racial/ethnic minorities in the United States earned 99.2 cents for every dollar that white employees earned performing the same jobs
Amazon also provides extensive reporting on our workforce diversity. We annually publish gender and race
representation information on our diversity and inclusion website, which includes representation by job type,
such as front-line associates, corporate employees, and senior leaders. In addition, to provide even greater
transparency, we began publishing our consolidated EEO-1 reports in 2021
We are strongly committed to promoting gender and racial diversity and inclusion in our workforce, including
among our leadership ranks
➤ We have robust programs that are dedicated to increasing opportunities for underrepresented groups to enter
the technology workforce, and we are investing in building the next generation of diverse technical leaders
An unadjusted median pay statistic does not account for factors such as cost of living, job function and level,
labor force participation rates, country currency, and geography that impact differences in compensation
