Amazon has commissioned a “racial equity audit” of safety data for warehouse employees, after facing shareholder pressure from one of the largest public pension funds in the United States.
The audit, which Amazon claims is intended to address “disparate racial impacts” for black and Latino workers, will be led by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, representing the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Amazon has not specified a timeline for the audit.
