Amazon vows ‘zero tolerance’ for graft after India probe report

Amazon.com Inc stressed it has zero tolerance for graft and will investigate all allegations of corruption fully, responding to a report by an Indian news outlet that the US e-commerce giant has begun an internal investigation into claims of bribery.

The US company started a probe into its legal representatives’ conduct in India, after the report. Amazon didn’t address specifics in the report but issued the statement after Bloomberg contacted local spokespeople for comment.

“We have zero tolerance for corruption,” Amazon said in its emailed response. “We take allegations of improper actions seriously, investigate them fully, and take appropriate action. We are not commenting on specific allegations or the status of any investigation at this time.”
