ALBANY New York Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli says he is asking Amazon to allow an independent audit to assess the company’s policies and practices on civil rights, equity, diversity and inclusion.
“Corporate America can only benefit by joining the ongoing national reckoning over racial injustice and confronting institutionalized inequality, just as it would seek to root out any other systemic problem and mitigate risks for long-term investors,” DiNapoli said Friday in announcing he was putting forth a shareholder proposal.
