What’s an activation code, and how do I find it?
We need an activation code to safeguard your account. It’s a one-time requirement when you set up your account on Amazon Payee Central.
Search your email inbox for an invitation email from amazon-payee-central@amazon.com. The activation code is in the invitation email. This code isn’t a password or one-time password.
One-time password
Why do I need a one-time password?
For security reasons, to access the Users or Accounts tabs, you need to enter a one-time password (OTP).
How do I get a one-time password?
When you select either the Users tab or the Accounts tab, Amazon Payee Central automatically sends the one-time password (OTP) to the email address associated with your user access. Look for the email in your email inbox, and copy the six-digit password.
Go back to Amazon Payee Central, and paste the six-digit password in the Enter OTP field, then select Verify.
The OTP is only valid for 20 minutes. If you use an OTP issued more than 20 minutes before, Amazon Payee Central won’t give you access.
After five unsuccessful OTP submissions, Amazon Payee Central will lock you out and you will need to contact Amazon to regain access. Contact us by going to the Help Page and selecting Create Case at the bottom of the page.
Is my information secure?
Yes, we securely store the information you share in our payment system.
Why is there a delay in receiving the emails with the one-time password or verification code?
You may have a delay in receiving the email with the one-time password (OTP) for the following reasons:
• The email may have gone to the junk or spam folders in your email. Check these folders.
• The email may have been blocked. Contact your IT department or internet service provider, and check if the email was blocked there.
• If you have multiple email addresses, you might be using an incorrect email address. Use the email address to which the invitation was sent through Amazon Payee Central.
If you need more help, contact us by going to the Help Page and selecting Create Case at the bottom of the page.

Safety and sustainability
I have been asked to participate in Amazon’s third-party assessment screenings for sustainability and safety. What is the purpose of the screening?
At Amazon, we’re committed to sustainability and social responsibility - it's good for business, the planet, our customers, and our communities. In alignment with these expectations, we launched a sustainable procurement initiative to manage social and environmental performance in our supply chain. Our assessment vendors are EcoVadis and Avetta.
EcoVadis screenings track activity in four separate areas: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Avetta screenings track commitments to and records on workplace safety. These screenings are only required for vendors who operate on Amazon properties.
For further questions about EcoVadis: procurement-sustainability@amazon.com
For further questions about Avetta: eu-whs-contract-risk@amazon.com
How will I know if I need to take an EcoVadis or Avetta screening?
You will receive invitation emails from EcoVadis or Avetta to begin this process and we ask you to respond as soon as possible. Please forward the assessment invites to the person responsible for safety and sustainability in your business.
Avetta screenings are only applicable to vendors who will have a physical presence on Amazon facilities. If you have been contacted for such a screening but will not be physically present on Amazon facilities, please alert your Amazon procurement contact.

For further questions about Avetta: eu-whs-contract-risk@amazon.com
Are EcoVadis and Avetta screenings mandatory?
Sustainability and social responsibility scores are an essential part of Amazon’s vendor management. Safety prequalification, onboarding, and onsite management is equally vital. Your participation in these programs is mandatory.
You may be exempt if your entity is a nonprofit or a government-linked organization. If your entity does fall under one of these two categories, please alert your Amazon procurement contact for further guidance.
Your refusal to participate may affect your standing with Amazon.

Pricing details for EcoVadis: https://ecovadis.com/plans-pricing/
Pricing details for Avetta: emearegistrations@avetta.com or 0808 189 0089
Amazon believes that these collaborative platforms will increase transparency, drive improvement, and streamline the safety prequalification process and sustainability reporting for both you and us. It will also allow you to share your scorecard with other customers, improve future business, and mitigate risks.
What information do I need to provide during an EcoVadis or Avetta screening?
EcoVadis questions vary based on several factors including your company size, industry, and location. For instance, under the “Labor and Human Rights” section, you could be asked if you have implemented a number of policies ranging from child labor to general working conditions. Under the “Environment” section, you could be asked if you report on water use or chemical waste.
Avetta questions focus on past safety performance and general questions about your insurance, safety management system, and any other local requirements.
Which documents should I prepare for an EcoVadis or Avetta screening?
For EcoVadis, Amazon recommends that you provide optional documentation to increase your scores. Scores are weighted against vendors in your industry, and the more transparent you choose to be in your sustainability efforts, the better your standing at Amazon.
The following is a list of documents you could share with EcoVadis to improve your scores.
• Sustainability management procedures
• Sustainability reports
• Social audit reports
• HSE policies
• Code of ethics/conduct
• Employee handbooks
• Certificates (ISO14001, OHSAS18001, among others)
• UNGC communication on progress
• Annual reports with integrated sustainability section
Avetta registration requires a risk assessment, subcontractor usage, ISO certifications, and evidence about your safety management systems and procedures.
