365 is Whole Foods’ in-house budget brand, and since Amazon bought the chain in 2017, it’s become another lever for Amazon to dominate the grocery market. It’s sold as affordable organics, but the supply chain still runs through Amazon’s exploitative labor systems and aggressive vendor squeeze. Buying it keeps feeding the most anti-worker, hyper-extractive corporation in the world.
Amazon is rated High Impact because its harms are systemic and interlocking.
Environmental Harm: Delivery fleets, aviation cargo, and data centers generate massive emissions and plastic waste, while public pledges mask lobbying against climate regulation.
Human Rights Violations: Workers face surveillance, injury-level quotas, and unsafe delivery speeds. Migrant workers in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere face wage theft and coercion.
Military & Conflict Complicity: AWS is central to surveillance states. Project Nimbus embeds Amazon in Israel’s occupation and war crimes, supplying AI and data services to its military and government.
The result: consumer spending that powers a machine which entrenches inequality, accelerates climate collapse, and sustains state violence worldwide.
