The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon's scale and speed to build a more resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally, and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.
The Sustainability Reporting, Enablement and Governance (S-REG) team's mission is to build a lasting, scalable and trusted sustainability reporting infrastructure to satisfy regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. We translate external requirements into internal needs and build tools and mechanisms that enable Amazon businesses to meet their Sustainability reporting obligations and effectively manage their Sustainability risks and opportunities.

- Launch mechanisms to ensure cross-jurisdictional consistency of assurance approaches, materiality conclusions, and disclosure quality across all mandatory sustainability reports.
- Conduct gap assessments of current sustainability reporting practices against evolving regulatory and assurance requirements, identifying risks and developing remediation roadmaps.
- Build and maintain a centralized audit trail of evidence, methodologies, assumptions, and management judgments supporting sustainability disclosures, ensuring documentation is assurance-ready and defensible.
- Partner with Worldwide Sustainability, Finance, Legal and Accounting teams to align sustainability reporting with financial reporting processes and timelines.
