Amazon and NSC, the country's leading safety organization, have a joint mission—create safer workplaces around the world. In 2021, Amazon and NSC entered a partnership to address musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)—the leading cause of injuries across all industries. Through this partnership and Amazon's $12 million donation, NSC created the MSD Solutions Lab which has brought together experts from across public, private, academic, government, and non-profit sectors to uncover preventive solutions, new technologies, and the latest research around MSDs. The center piece of the partnership is the MSD Pledge, which more than 200 companies have signed, is a public commitment to reduce MSDs at their own organizations by 2025.
