During this new financial year Amazon became a direct client of Policy Impact Partners. The coalition of companies work collectively on EU policy initiatives and Policy Impact Partners supports the work of the whole group but does not receive direct contracts or funding from all companies that are actively involved in the efforts. So for example if a Policy Impact Partners led consultation response refers to a list of companies, Policy Impact Partners may not have a direct contract with all of those companies but is supporting the combined industry co-ordinated response
