Modeled Change Management (MCM)- Amazon Internal process for identification, assessment, and

mitigation of risk during intrusive work inside the Operation Zone or work with a risk of impacting the
production space of the Data Center. The MCM workflow method requires a step by step description of

work to provide Infra Ops with all the information they need to execute a change with a high confidence of

success and minimized risk.

Production Space— any facility, system, equipment, or service which directly or indirectly supports or
maintains at least one live rack.

Intrusive Change— any change that causes a system to be entirely or partially impaired and reduces the
redundancy or resiliency of the system or service that is impacted.
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) - These documents are created and vetted by Infra Ops and go
through a rigorous approval process to verify that all safety, training, ownership, and back out procedures
are accounted for to provide the highest level of risk mitigation.

Method of Procedure (MOP) - These documents are created to give details or specifics of work

S
performed on equipment once safely isolated by an approved SOP. MOP’s are typically used with SOP’s

N
and begin with “Isolation and verification of critical equipment is complete and it safe to proceed with the

IO
MOP.” MOP’s can also be used for a one-off or break/fix but are dependent on situations or requirements

Supply Chain Standards
At Amazon, we have a strong commitment to conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner, including
engaging suppliers that are committed to the same principles. We require suppliers in our retail
manufacturing supply chain to comply with our Supplier Code of Standards and Responsibilities, which is

S

reprinted below. In 2011, we audited 159 factories in 13 countries. In 2012, we expanded our auditing

IO
program to 315 factories in 19 countries. We work closely with a leading independent third‐party specialist

AT
in designing, operating, and continually improving our audit program. Amazon managers participate

or family status or similar factors in hiring and employment practices such as job applications, promotions,
job assignments, training, wages, benefits, and termination. Suppliers may not subject workers or
applicants to medical tests that could be used in a discriminatory manner.

Fair Treatment. All workers are to be treated with respect and dignity. Our suppliers may not engage in

S

or permit physical or psychological coercion, including threats of violence, sexual harassment or abuse,

IO
verbal or physical abuse, or unreasonable restrictions on entering or exiting supplier facilities. Workers

Occupational Safety. Suppliers must control worker exposure to potential physical safety hazards by

retaliation against workers who report workplace grievances. Suppliers should create a mechanism for

workers to submit their grievances anonymously.

Management Systems. Suppliers must adopt a management system to ensure compliance with applicable
TE R A

laws and this Code and to facilitate continual improvement.

Management Accountability and Responsibility. Suppliers should have designated representatives


responsible for implementing management systems and programs that oversee compliance with

subcontractors to the standards and practices covered by this Code.

(translated into the appropriate local language).
Documentation and Records. Suppliers must create, retain, and dispose of business records in full
compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements along with appropriate confidentiality

Environmental Permits and Recordkeeping. Suppliers must obtain and keep current all required

environmental permits, approvals and registrations and follow the applicable operational and reporting

Effective Management and Disposal of Hazardous Substances. Suppliers must effectively identify and

Corrective Action. Suppliers' compliance with this Code is subject to Amazon's review, including third‐ party
auditing of production facilities and conducting confidential employee interviews. We require suppliers to

take corrective actions for deviations from the Code, and Amazon will track suppliers' remediation efforts.

Amazon may terminate its relationships with any supplier found to be in violation of the Code, including
violation for denying access to Amazon‐approved auditors.

Amazon employees who manage our retail supply chain receive training on the Supplier Code of Standards

manufacturers on the Supplier Code and Amazon's supply chain standards. Our independent third‐party
auditor periodically conducts both unannounced and announced on‐site audits of our retail
manufacturers. Most of our retail manufacturers are audited before Amazon will begin ordering products,

business with us. Amazon's retail manufacturing purchasing agreements require our suppliers to comply
