Amazon launches new program! How to obtain the Climate Friendly Commitment label?

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has pledged that Amazon will be net carbon neutral by 2040, becoming the first major company to announce this goal. This is the "Climate Pledge" jointly launched by Bezos and former UN climate leaders last year. In order to achieve the goal of net carbon neutrality in 2040, Amazon has set up a $2 billion "Climate Pledge Fund" and is working hard to achieve green sustainability in logistics and products. This year, Amazon began to take multiple initiatives to advance its goal of relying on renewable energy.

(1) Establishment of a US$2 billion Climate Pledge Fund

In June this year, Amazon announced the establishment of a $2 billion Climate Pledge Fund to support the development of sustainable technologies and services.

(2) Vigorously develop green logistics

On August 28, foreign media reported that Amazon has ordered 1,800 electric trucks from Mercedes-Benz for the development of sustainable technologies and services.

(3) Launching climate-friendly projects

On October 5, Amazon updated its announcement, saying that it will soon launch the "Climate Pledge Friendly" program. This new program aims to help buyers easily discover and purchase more sustainable products.

About Climate Pledge Friendly

This program can give unique labels to some products that have passed sustainability certification, making it easier for consumers with advanced climate improvement awareness to access these climate-friendly products.

Amazon's press release stated that the climate-friendly products currently available to buyers include products from multiple categories, including groceries, home, fashion, beauty, and personal electronics. All products participating in the program will be clearly marked in search results and display pages, and there will be a dedicated area on the Amazon main site to display these products.

As part of its Climate Pledge Friendly program, Amazon is also launching a new “Compact by Design” certification to ensure that sellers’ products have more efficient designs.

When buyers search for products, they will see the "Climate Pledge Friendly" label, which means that the product has one or more of 19 different sustainability certifications that help protect the natural environment. If excess air and moisture are removed, the product will require less packaging and will be shipped more efficiently. Although there are only very subtle differences in the size and weight of individual products, if the quantity is large, it can significantly reduce carbon emissions.

Product display after certification

In other words, Amazon will use large traffic to support the "Climate Friendly Commitment" program, and the green label can also promote product conversion. Sellers who participate in the program can not only have an exclusive display position and obtain additional traffic, but also bring more conversions to their products. So how can sellers participate in the "Climate Friendly Commitment Program"?

How to join the program?

Because the program is primarily about sustainability, products only need to be certified sustainable.

There are two types of sustainability certification: one is the certification standards provided by third parties, there are 18; the other is Amazon's certification standard, the compact packaging design certification - Compact by Design, there is 1. As long as you have one or more of these certifications, you can get the "Climate Pledge Friendly" label.

The 18 third-party certification standards include EnergyStar, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance. For example, the certification standard for electrical products, EnergyStar, was jointly developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If manufacturers want to obtain this certification label, they must submit a complete test report and evaluation results, and the EPA will conduct multiple tests on product safety, EMI, surge, noise, light performance and energy efficiency.

Amazon’s certification standards are much simpler, requiring only some improvements to the product’s packaging (as shown below) before applying for certification.
