Here, you’ll learn more about The Climate Pledge, Climate Pledge Friendly, and be able to check out some great Climate Pledge Friendly products.
What is the Climate Pledge?
Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019, committing to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040—10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. The Pledge now has more than 470 signatories, including Best Buy, IBM, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Siemens, Unilever, Verizon, and Visa.
What is Climate Pledge Friendly?
We launched the Climate Pledge Friendly program to help customers identify products with sustainability features.
Products that are part of the Climate Pledge Friendly program are certified by one (or more) of over 50 sustainability certifications, which include vetted and reputable third-party certifications like Fair Trade Certified, The Forest Stewardship Council, and Energy Star Most Efficient. Amazon also has developed four certifications including Compact by Design, Pre-owned Certified: Electronics, Pre-owned Certified: Fashion and Plant-Based Fiber Blended. You can view all the certifications here.
Nneka Leiba, Amazon’s Global Lead for Selection Science, helps to identify which certifications should be in the program. “We use a science-based approach that prioritizes the most relevant sustainability and environmental issues related to the entire life cycle of a product. For example, if we’re looking at wood furniture, we want to find a certification that addresses how the wood is sourced and how the product is created,” says Leiba.
“Cradle to Cradle is a great example of a certification that addresses the entire lifecycle of a product. Its criteria include soil and water quality, climate, chemical safety, circularity, and social fairness. I’m a big fan of CeraVe products, particularly the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, which is certified by Cradle to Cradle.”
Top brands like Burt's Bees Baby, Seventh Generation, Columbia, and Timberland also all have products with sustainability certifications included in our Climate Pledge Friendly program.
