Small Businesses
We invest in the success of entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses selling in our Amazon Store. When they thrive, our customers benefit from the products and services they offer. That’s part of the reason we have invested over €3.4 billion in 2021 in the European region in logistics, tools, services, programs and training to help them succeed.
