Amazon has launched its “Climate Pledge Friendly” feature in Canada, a program designed to empower customers in making more sustainable shopping choices across household, fashion, beauty, and personal electronics, among other categories.
Through a “Sustainability feature” label, Canadians can now easily identify more than 143,000 products that are both clearly labeled in shopping results and featured in a dedicated section of Amazon’s store, said the company.
Amazon said Climate Pledge Friendly products meet one or more of 44 rigorous sustainability certifications, including:
- Rainforest Alliance: Stands for more-sustainable farming methods that help improve farmer livelihoods & mitigate climate change.
- The Forest Stewardship Council: Certified products that support responsible forestry, helping keep forests healthy for future generations
- MADE SAFE: Certified products made without known toxic chemicals, by prohibiting substances that harm human health or the environment
- Global Organic Textile Standard: Certifies each step of the organic textile supply chain against strict ecological and social standards.
“Climate Pledge Friendly provides our customers with an easy way to identify and choose products that meet trusted sustainability standards, aligning with our commitment to offer more sustainable shopping choices,” said Eva Lorenz, Amazon Canada Country Leader, in a blog on the company’s website. “Through this program, we’re encouraging our selling partners to offer selection that meets sustainability standards, making it easier for customers to protect the natural world for future generations.”
