Amazon Shareholder Engagement Presentation Deck

Item 8-Shareholder Proposal Requesting a Report on Packaging Materials Why We Recommend You Vote Against This Proposal In contrast to consumer-packaged goods companies, Amazon's greatest impact comes from helping other manufacturers reduce their use of plastic in packaging and reducing our own use of plastic for products repackaged for delivery We incentivize manufacturers to package their products in easy-to-open packaging that is 100% recyclable and ready to ship to customers without additional Amazon boxes: https://www.aboutamazon.com/packaging/overview/2021-incentive We have taken action to reduce reliance on the use of plastics in a number of areas, including products manufactured by other companies, packaging for shipment and delivery, our Amazon and other private label devices, and our physical stores We are working to increase the recycled content used in our packaging, which in 2021 increased from 25% to 50% for our plastic film bags, and from 15% to over 40% for our plastic padded bags. These improvements are expected to eliminate more than 25,000 metric tons of new plastic each year We expect to replace the use of mixed (paper/plastic) mailers with a recyclable paper padded mailer by the end of 2022. We have also reduced our use of material like plastic film and single-use plastic We are engaged in efforts to support the development of recycling infrastructure across our industry and other broader recycling initiatives We have established an ambitious goal of reducing single-use plastics in our device packaging, with the intent to make this packaging 100% curbside recyclable by 2023 Proponents: As You Sow on behalf of Sara Sackner, Green Century Capital Management, and NEI Investments, Dana Large Cap Equity Fund, Stichting Juridisch Eigenaar ACTIAM Beleggingsfondsen and Stichting Juridische Eigenaar Zwitserleven Beleggingsfondsen 17 amazon
