Our Leadership Principles
Amazon’s culture of inclusion is supported by our 16 Leadership Principles. These guide the way we work, and remind us to learn and be curious and earn trust.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
We’re a company that brings a wide range of perspectives to inventing on behalf of our customers. These include race, ethnicity, gender, age, physical and mental ability, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, culture, language, and education, as well as professional and life experience. We’re committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Our diverse identities help define who we are as Amazonians
Our ability to innovate on behalf of our global customers and communities is dependent upon the skills, perspectives, and knowledge of people from all backgrounds. We believe that building a welcoming and inclusive culture is essential to people doing their best work, and what we can achieve as a company. We recruit individuals from diverse backgrounds and foster an inclusive workplace. We take steps to ensure employees have a sense of belonging, feel valued, and are able to succeed and thrive.
