The AWS Infrastructure Community Engagement Program (AWS InCommunities) forges local relationships and creates community- focused programs where AWS builds, operates, and is expanding our physical infrastructure. AWS InCommunities focuses on four key pillars: 1. STEM/STEAM (STEM + arts) education, equity, and access 2. Local tech upskilling 3. Environmental stewardship 4. Employee engagement In addition, AWS InCommunities’ Signature Programs use AWS’ unique resources to develop or inspire future builders from underrepresented and underserved communities. These include Girls’ Tech Day, AWS Tech Week, Family Tech Series, and Think Big Space. Skills Training and STEM Education Programs Amazon believes in the power of education to unlock human potential, which is why we are investing in a range of subjects and tools to help children, higher education students, and adults tap into their potential. Skills training and STEM education can have a big impact in an increasingly digitized, technological world, and we are helping people pursue careers of the future through computer science and coding skills. In 2020, we pledged to help 29 million people around the world grow their technical skills with free cloud computing skills training by 2025. To support this commitment, we have a number of initiatives, ranging from equipping higher education institutions with a free, ready-to-teach cloud curriculum to helping teachers bring coding classes to rural areas, and inspiring girls and young women to pursue careers in tech. Our programs include Amazon Future Engineer , AWS Training and Certification , AWS re/Start , AWS Academy , AWS Educate , AWS Think Big Experience , our partnership with Girls in Tech , and AWS GetIT . For example, Amazon Future Engineer is our global childhood-to-career computer science program created to inspire and educate thousands of students each year from underserved and underrepresented communities. As part of this program, students explore computer science by meeting actual Amazon employees in virtual live career talks or explorations of our real-world innovations. In 2021, Amazon Future Engineer reached 1.8 million students, and it is now available in the U.S., the UK, India, France, Germany, and Canada. Amazon Future Engineer also awards 250 students in the U.S. each year with $40,000 scholarships and paid internships at Amazon, as well as honoring Teacher of the Year Award winners with more than $30,000 for themselves and their schools. Through Amazon Future Engineer, Amazon announced a new Advanced Placement Computer Science programming curriculum , in partnership with Code.org. Designed with equity at its core, the curriculum is intended to empower every student, regardless of their background, to envision themselves using computer science to bring their dreams to life. AWS launched a $10 million scholarship program to prepare underrepresented and underserved students globally for careers in machine learning. In addition, the AWS InCommunities Scholarship Program offers a total of $100,000 in scholarships to students from U.S. states where AWS has data center operations to support their higher education ambitions in STEM. The program is open to students enrolling in courses such as electrical and electronics engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, biochemistry, software engineering, and physics. Since 2019, AWS has awarded 120 scholarships to students across four U.S. states. 1.8M Students reached through Amazon Future Engineer in 2021 10K+ Employee volunteer hours 1.2M Positive community interactions Technology Ireland CSR Award Received for our “Take on a Cause” program sponsoring nonprofits and community groups Special Commendation Award Received from the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry for our contributions to COVID-19 relief efforts in India 2021 Sustainability Report Introduction I Environment I Society I Governance I Appendix 72
