Amazon workers are reflected in the glasses of Shemona Moreno as she speaks during a walkout event at the company’s headquarters in Seattle. Workers participating in the event had two main demands: to have the e-commerce giant put climate impact at the forefront of its decision-making, and for it to provide greater flexibility for how and where employees work. Amazon said it has made progress in meeting its 2019 Climate Pledge goals, including by putting thousands of electric delivery vehicles on the road and by continuing to invest in both proven and new science-backed solutions for reducing carbon emissions. In response to employee concerns about the return to office, Amazon spokesperson Rob Munoz said the company respects employees’ rights to express their opinions and that it had “had a great few weeks with more employees in the office.” David Ryder/Getty Images
