Basic Introduction

Amazon is launching a new program called Climate Pledge Friendly to help customers more easily discover and purchase more sustainable products.

Platform display

While searching for products, buyers will see the "Climate Friendly Commitment" label, indicating that the product holds one or more of 19 different sustainability certifications to help protect the natural world. With excess air and water removed, products require less packaging and are shipped more efficiently. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight result in significant carbon savings.

Certification Type

There are 18 certification standards provided by third parties, including EnergyStar, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance, etc. Some of these certifications are relatively well-known. For example, electrical appliance sellers may know EnergyStar. If you want to know more about this, please call SuperNet's hotline 021-51029391 for details.

In addition to these 18, there is also Amazon's own compact packaging design certification - Compact by Design.

Included Products

The products include groceries, home, fashion, beauty, personal electronics and other categories. All products participating in the program will be clearly marked in the search results and display pages, and there will be a special area on the Amazon main site to display these products.

About Compact by Design

Compact by Design only requires some improvements to the product packaging to apply for certification. Compared with certifications such as EnergyStar, this level of improvement is relatively simple.
