Solimo is one of Amazon’s budget-friendly house brands, selling everything from vitamins to coffee pods to toilet paper. It’s designed to undercut competitors on price, often by copying popular products and using Amazon’s search dominance to push them to the top. Behind the low cost is the same brutal supply chain—underpaid workers, aggressive vendor squeezing, and a company that’s deeply complicit in surveillance, exploitation, and apartheid.
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.
