For compliance with laws & policies in tier 1: see Code of Business Conduct and Ethics under point I (the Code can be accessed via p. 4). The Code of Conduct does not include mentions of suppliers and is therefore not assumed to cover anyone beyond tier 1.

For prohibition of forced labour in tier 1 and beyond: see primarily p. 5: “Our Supply Chain Standards require that all work must be voluntary and workers must be free to leave work and terminate their employment or other work status with reasonable notice, without penalty." The Supply Chain Standards apply "to all suppliers of goods and services for Amazon and Amazon’s subsidiaries, including service providers, vendors, selling partners, contractors, and subcontractors" (see p. 5) and therefore count as including beyond tier 1.

For prohibition of charging recruitment fees in tier 1 and beyond: see p. 9 under "Responsible Recruitment": “Charging workers recruitment fees is not permitted under Amazon’s Supply Chain Standards. […]"

For prohibition of child labour in tier 1: p. 4: "We do not tolerate the use of child labor […] in our operations or value chain."

For prohibition of child labour beyond tier 1: p. 16 on updates to Supply Chain Standards: "As part of those updates, we included additional requirements to protect workers from harmful recruitment practices, further clarification that suppliers are required to create and maintain an equitable and effective grievance mechanism for workers, and mandatory remediation if cases of child labor are identified."

For suppliers protecting migrant workers in tier 1 and beyond: p. 5: "Our Supply Chain Standards recognize domestic and foreign migrant workers’ unique vulnerability to situations of modern slavery and make clear that workers may not be charged recruitment fees at any point in the recruitment process."

Only mention of wages, freedom of association or other forms of labour rights in the report on p. 9: stating that the guidebook for suppliers includes how to present "worker rights, responsibilities, and conditions of emplo-ment, including wages" in the worker's language. Does this count as respecting labour rights?

The mention of wages, freedom of association or other forms of labour rights in the guidebook is not sufficient to count as a policy that would oblige the company and suppliers to respect those rights.
