A shareholder resolution filed by IASJ and the American Baptist Home Mission Societies is calling on Amazon to provide a customer due diligence report.
This resolution is a chance for Amazon to be part of the solution, not the problem.
There is a growing movement among investors and the wider public: we will no longer tolerate the sale of technology to customers who use it to violate people’s basic rights.
Item 7 asks Amazon to conduct an independent assessment of its customer due diligence processes.
By committing to transparency and customer due diligence, Amazon can avoid serious legal and reputational risks, set standards across the industry, and put a stop to tech-driven human rights abuses.
Vote for Item 7 to call on Amazon to #KnowYourCustomer
3 Reasons Investors Should Vote YES on Item 7
From Courtney Wicks, Executive Director of Investor Advocates for Social Justice (IASJ), representing Amazon investors.
As a shareholder and as a responsible citizen, I’m voting YES on Customer Due Diligence – to prevent Amazon’s technology from being sold to customers that use it to violate basic human rights.
Here’s why you should vote for Item 7 too:
Amazon has already come under fire for poor due diligence – this resolution helps the company get ahead of those risks.
The resolution enables Amazon to be part of the solution, not the problem – showing leadership and setting standards across the industry.
The resolution helps ensure our technology improves lives, rather than destroys them – putting an end to current and future human-rights violations here and across the world.
I hope you’ll join me in voting YES for Customer Due Diligence. Click here to read the full text of the resolution filed by IASJ and American Baptist Home Mission Societies.
