Amazon�s biggest, hardest-to-solve ESG issue may be its own workers

Blog

Project description

The National Council on Occupational Safety and Health included Amazon in its �Dirty Dozen� list of the most dangerous employers in the U.S. Earlier this year, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Amazon for inadequately protecting workers amid the Coronavirus pandemic. While Amazon just finished its third consecutive $100 billion quarter, showing customers continue to shop with the e-commerce giant and it is one of the trillion-dollar-plus tech companies that dominate the market, there is a question of whether more investors will start paying attention to worker safety.
