What is Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly?

The Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly program recognizes products with at least one sustainability certification by a third party or by Amazon’s Compact by Design certification, which was validated by SCS Global Services. Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and increase market share with consumers by certifying your products for the Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly program. Work with SCS, the leading third-party certifier, to get certified under the approved Climate Pledge Friendly certifications like Carbon Neutral Certification and Recycled Content Standard for Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Through SCS' new Certification Standard for Carbon Neutral Entities, Buildings, Products, and Services or the internationally recognized carbon neutral standard, PAS 2060, companies can certify that they have successfully negated their carbon footprint. SCS offers complete service options to achieve carbon neutrality that include establishing your product carbon footprints and guidance on purchasing verified carbon offsets from credible sources that align with your company and Amazon’s mission. Other certifications that can be achieved with SCS under the Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly Program include: BIFMA LEVEL®, Compact by Design, Fair Trade USA Certification, FSC Certification, Global Recycled Standard, USDA Organic Certification, Regenerative Organic Certified, Rain Forest Alliance Certification, Recycled Claim Standard, Responsible Wool Standard and more.
