“We use independent auditors to assess potential or current suppliers for modern slavery indicators. To do this, auditors conduct regular on-site inspections and confidential worker interviews. When a specific audit finding requires a more hands-on approach, we also send Amazon teams or third-party experts to conduct further assessments. Our audits look for supplier findings based on indicators, including those associated with modern slavery.”

“We may conduct announced or unannounced on-site verifications or request additional documentation from suppliers.”
