About Amazon

Amazon's mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our customers face a rapidly evolving world with ever-increasing expectations for convenience, selection, and value. That is why we focus on relentless innovation and operational excellence to meet their needs. From its beginnings as an online bookstore, Amazon has expanded to become 'The Everything Store,' offering a vast array of products and services. Customers want lower prices, better selection, and convenient services, and these desires drive our approach to business. We understand that customers are looking for solutions that simplify their lives, whether it's through fast and reliable shipping with Amazon Prime, accessing a world of entertainment with Prime Video and Amazon Music, or leveraging the power of the cloud with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Our customers, ranging from individual consumers to large enterprises and public sector organizations, benefit from our passion for invention. For consumers, this means a constantly improving shopping experience, personalized recommendations, and access to innovative devices like Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets, and Echo smart speakers. For businesses and developers, AWS provides a comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. This allows our customers to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster, tackling challenges in areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, and the Internet of Things. We also empower sellers by providing services like Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), which allows them to leverage our advanced logistics network to reach more customers efficiently. Ultimately, our goal is to earn and keep customer trust by obsessively focusing on their needs and working vigorously to provide them with a superior experience in every interaction with Amazon.
