[US Stocks] Understanding Amazon's Latest Earnings! ② [Sequel]
"Understanding Amazon's Latest Earnings Part 1" is continued here♪
"Part 1" Following on from the first part, I've used a bullet-point format and "free translation rather than literal translation," so it has become a text that is clean and easy for Japanese people to read♪
<Today's Table of Contents>
⑨ Joint project with the King Foundation
⑩ COVID-19 countermeasures (sequel)
⑪ Overseas support and regional support
⑫ About the food business
⑬ About support for people with disabilities
⑭ Solving environmental problems and environmental investment
US stock IR materials are written in a very long and detailed manner compared to Japanese companies, and "Part 1" and this time combined are still only about half of it♪
However, as you can see from reading the first part, there is no other Japanese site besides my blog as of today that writes about Amazon's earnings in such detail, so when you finish reading it all, you, my brother, will be able to become "the investor who understands Amazon's business content better than anyone else in Japan"♪
▼▼▼Amazon translation start▼▼▼
<⑨ Joint project with the King Foundation>
◯Amazon is collaborating with the King Memorial Foundation to conduct a training session called the "social justice fellow program"♪
Program participants who want to acquire work skills can receive direct training in business skills and communication from Amazon employees♪
※I have also posted links to "my (the author's) past corporate analysis" like ▲ throughout the article♪
While reading through Amazon's activities, try looking for my past treasure articles too♪
<⑩ COVID-19 countermeasures>
◯Amazon has opened its campus in Seattle and is conducting COVID-19 vaccinations there♪
◯Amazon is supporting the Washington State vaccine call center♪ They have a track record of handling over 100,000 calls already♪
◯They developed a system where you can easily search for and book the nearest vaccine venue automatically by talking to Amazon's Alexa♪
※Alexa = "AI (Artificial Intelligence)" released by Amazon, and you, my brother, can also use it if you buy a product called "Amazon Echo"♪)
<⑪ Overseas support and regional support>
◯Amazon donated 10,000 Fire tablets to schools in the UK♪
◯They have distributed over 4 million meals to impoverished areas where children cannot eat breakfast♪

◯Amazon has also partnered with anti-hunger organizations♪
<⑬ Regarding Support for People with Disabilities>
◯ We announced community programs and made donations with "Kids OFF the Block," which is based in Chicago♪
◯ Amazon used Alexa to provide TV and movies for visually impaired customers♪ (TV and movies with audio narration for the visually impaired) This development was done in collaboration with the German Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (DBSV) and TV stations such as ARD, ZDF, and ARTE♪
<⑭ Regarding Environmental Problem Solving and Environmental Investment>
◯ Amazon aims to operate all of its businesses using 100% renewable energy by 2025♪
◯ Amazon has already announced 206 renewable energy projects♪ Of those, 71 are wind and solar power projects, and 135 are "projects to install solar power on facility rooftops"♪
◯ We have already made huge investments in Europe as well, and it seems that Amazon's investment facilities alone can already cover the electricity for over 2 million households♪
◯ Amazon aims to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement goals♪ Over 100 companies have joined, with a total workforce of over 5 million employees♪
This indicates that we are entering an era where demand for products and services that contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions will rise rapidly♪
Other companies that have signed on include PepsiCo, Visa, and Alaska Airlines♪
◯ Amazon has launched an investment fund specialized for environmental companies called "Climate Pledge Fund"♪ (It is a massive fund worth 2 billion dollars = over 200 billion yen♪)
