Amazon celebrates Black artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators

In 2020, we made—and met—a number of companywide commitments intended to increase representation at all levels across our organization while ensuring that our deep-rooted culture of inclusion is reinforced through learning and action. We doubled the representation of Black senior leadership—directors and vice presidents—by hiring and promoting Black leaders across the business. We have rolled out a new diversity, equity, and inclusion learning requirement for all employees, and we are eliminating non-inclusive tech language, such as blacklist/whitelist and master/slave, from our documentation and software.
