♻️ Huge update on our path to reduce plastic packaging. We’ve officially replaced 95% of the plastic air pillows from delivery packaging in North America with paper filler. With this shift, we’ll avoid nearly 15 BILLION plastic air pillows every year. That means for Prime Day next month, nearly all our deliveries won't come with plastic air pillows. The filler paper that replaces them is curbside recyclable. ♻️ 🌍 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gwMRNeQC
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.

This slip simulator makes you feel super goofy, but it's really effective in increasing delivery driver safety. 🚚 📦 In fact, it reduces delivery driver slips and falls by 30%, and drivers consistently rank it as one of the most fun parts of their safety training. It's a kinetic learning module, AKA learn by doing, for drivers to learn how to safely walk on slippery surfaces. Our teams are rolling it out to delivery stations across North America ahead of Peak. What do you think? ⬇

Sharing a note I sent to all AWS employees today: Team, Over the past 18 years, I've had the privilege of working alongside the most talented, innovative, and customer-obsessed people on the planet. The journey has been nothing short of amazing, and today, I'm incredibly excited to mark Day 1 as CEO of AWS. From the very beginning, we’ve been driven by a commitment to deliver innovative products and services that solve real problems for our customers, and to anticipate ones they haven’t encountered yet. I love how this customer obsession allows us to tackle what sometimes seems impossible—and that relentless focus is still at our core today. We remain intent on providing secure, high-performing, sustainable, and operationally excellent cloud infrastructure and services that customers and partners can trust with their most precious data and workloads. The advances we're seeing in generative AI present one of the most exciting technological opportunities of our lifetimes, and thanks to all of you, we are helping tens of thousands of customers across every industry move quickly with this technology and change the way they work. As we continue expanding our array of building blocks to help customers take advantage of new technologies, we’re also continually growing our infrastructure around the world to help them securely run their mission-critical workloads. AWS has always been a place where smart risk-taking, customer obsession, and a never-ending drive to innovate are embraced and celebrated. With that foundation, there’s massive opportunity ahead. I’m looking forward to building this next chapter together. Matt
