Working for the French economy

A dimension regularly highlighted by Amazon is its ability to support VSEs and SMEs in their internationalization. Indeed, the marketplace gives small businesses the opportunity to sell their products (and thus boost their sales) all over the world. “ We have invested more than 11 billion euros in our French activities since 2010 in order to serve our millions of customers and support the growth of the thousands of French SMEs who rely on Amazon to develop their activities. Thanks to these investments, Amazon has become one of the main job creators in France », Indicates Frédéric Duval, CEO of Amazon France.

The e-commerce giant claims that its platform has greatly contributed to the development of these small businesses, but also to the creation of jobs in France. Amazon states: “ These SMEs have created 25,000 jobs to support their activity on Amazon. More than 65% of them export their products to customers around the world. » These figures seem to be confirmed by several testimonies, including that of Éric Cairou, founder of jemangefrançais.com, an online delicatessen: “ Today, not only does our company employ 10 people, but it also contributes to the influence of many local artisans and producers throughout France. We are at the beginning of our development and Amazon is a privileged partner. In 2022, we plan to create 4 additional jobs to support the growth of our activity. »
