Why Buy From Amazon? A Different Viewpoint3091545
You had been expecting a list of reasons such as how inexpensive products are, how simple the shopping process is and so on. No - we are going to focus on other answers to the question: Why buy from Amazon? "Shoppers vote with their wallets" is a modern adaptation of an old adage. Companies understand that their continued achievement largely depends on the extent to which they are able to retain the confidence and respect of their clients.
Corporate social responsibility is an essential aspect of a business' ethical behavior. Recognizing this, Amazon.com have launched some interesting projects designed to reduce the influence of buying, packaging and transport on the atmosphere and supporting various neighborhood organizations.
Environmentally Friendly Packaging: A project which will run over a number of years, known as "Aggravation-Free Packaging" is aimed at making it simpler to get your product out of its packaging by encouraging manufacturers to do away with unnecessary, annoying packaging. An additional project is aimed at decreasing the bulk of boxes and protective material used in shipping. Sellers use a software program to select the best size box. Corrugated containers and other paper packaging materials are one hundred% recyclable. Air-pillows used as protection inside boxes can be deflated, take up much less than 1% of their original volume, are fully recyclable and non-toxic. Clients can now upload photos or problematic packaging with comments - these are used to additional improvement.
Eco-Friendly Building Design: Some of the many latest projects consist of: The new headquarters in Seattle - a conscious choice was made to develop eco-friendly, sustainable buildings. The new corporate office in Munich was constructed with sustainable building materials and interiors conform to highest power efficiency rules. Recycled supplies were used in the construction of four fulfillment centers built in 2009 and these buildings use natural lighting controls.
Amazon Green:
This initiative encourages purchasers and sellers of eco-friendly products to buy and sell goods such as clothing, toys and home improvement products. This is enhanced by the availability of an "Amazon Green Gift Card" which can be used to buy eco-friendly products.
Community support actions:
Amazon Want Lists: non profit organizations are in a position to list their needs on-line. Customers utilizing the Amazon websites are in a position to donate directly to the various organizations and are assured that they are meeting a specific need and their donations are not being used to fund administrative costs or discovering its way into the wrong pockets. An added additional is that clients know that their payments are safe and safe due to patented payment technology.
