Amazon tried—and failed—to block a resolution filed by shareholders asking the company’s Board of Directors to conduct an independent review of the effectiveness of Amazon’s customer due diligence process, including whether customers’ use of Amazon products results in human rights violations.
Shareholders now have a chance to vote in support of this and other resolutions before the company’s annual shareholder meeting on May 27.
One shareholder proposal asks the company to develop a report assessing civil and human rights risks posed by sales of facial recognition tech to government.
A second shareholder proposal asks the company to commission an independent third-party report assessing Amazon’s process for customer vetting. Shareholders are concerned that customers are using Amazon’s tech products and cloud-based services to violate human rights by enabling racism, violence, and mass surveillance.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Open MIC at media@openmic.org.
