This news was no surprise as Amazon which is the second-largest employer in the US faced multiple allegations of hazardous workplace conditions and employee treatment. Amazon also had a lawsuit filed against them by New York Attorney General Letitia James for inadequate protection of workers during the pandemic.

This comes at a time when the ESG metrics are becoming a major factor of consideration among investors. The employee needs although a small part comes under the social category of the ESG ratings. Amazon's major concern with ESG ratings is also the same as it gets affected due to unsatisfactory work environments, which is regarded highly by investors.
