Amazon is an E-commerce and Cloud Computing company with headquarters in Seattle, Washington. Since 1995, Amazon has focused on being “the world’s most customer centric company.” Our customers are worldwide, and include not just consumers, but also our sellers and vendors (selling partners). World-class retail brands and individual sellers increase their sales and reach new customers by leveraging the power of the Amazon e-commerce platform. To meet our selling partners’ needs, our smart, diverse, customer-obsessed employees are constantly innovating and building on new ideas.
The Operational Risk Compliance (ORC) organization exists to keep our customers and partners safe, protect associates, and ensure legal and regulatory compliance. We coordinate the aspects of product transactions that are regulated (distribution, shipping, sale, and import/export). Global Solutions and Risk Compliance (GSRC) is the operational arm of the ORC organization. This involves analyzing product import documentation and flagging hazardous risks. We are also responsible for keeping Amazon customers safe and informed by coordinating actions around worldwide program teams to classify products and ensure Amazon’s product listings follow regulatory and legal compliance guidelines. These actions include removing products from the site and from our warehouses, and contacting customers with pertinent sustainability information. The ORC team partners with GSRC supports regulatory compliance requirements for Amazon’s worldwide programs such as Dangerous Goods, Global Trade Services, Transport Risk Compliance, Sustainability, Extended Producer Responsibility, Chemical Safety Compliance and Food Safety.
