Global Real Estate and Facilities (GREF) in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region manages an extensive corporate office portfolio encompassing approximately 10 million rentable square feet (RSF) spread over 43 countries, 86 cities, and 139 buildings. Currently, GREF's EMEA operations are organized into nine distinct areas to efficiently serve its diverse customer base, including various business teams, leaders, and vendors who utilize Amazon's corporate offices. Looking ahead to 2025, GREF plans to restructure its services to align more closely with major Amazon organizations such as AWS, Stores, Devices, and FGBS.
