Amazon.com Inc. said it is adding sustainability labels based on
19 certifications on products listed on its site.
The label, which the e-commerce giant calls Climate Pledge
Friendly, will apply to grocery, household, fashion, beauty and
personal-electronics categories, among some 25,000 products.
The company also introduced an externally validated
certification called Compact by Design, which identified products
with efficient designs.
Amazon said the Climate Pledge Friendly initiative backs its
commitment to reach the Paris Agreement's terms ten years early and
be net zero carbon by 2040.
