Our partnership with Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly has expanded from the United States to across the globe. Amazon customers in Canada, the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Sweden, Mexico, Australia, and Japan now see a green leaf detailing verified sustainability features on the listings for products certified by Green Seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon’s data shows products see a 12.5% sales lift within the first year of joining the Climate Pledge Friendly program. An independent report<\/a> by Harvard Business Review confirmed this data, finding that sustainability certifications boosted customer demand by 13%, regardless of the type of product.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Green Seal was an original participant in Climate Pledge Friendly when Amazon launched the initiative in the U.S. in 2020 to make it easier for customers to discover and shop for more sustainable products. Products certified to Green Seal\u2019s standards automatically qualify for the Climate Pledge Friendly badge, indicating to shoppers that the products meet meaningful sustainability standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Green Seal\u2019s science-based certification standards emphasize health and safety, prohibiting a comprehensive list of harmful chemicals in certified products and requiring a rigorous examination of a product\u2019s environmental leadership in areas including raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, and how the product is used and disposed of. Critically, Green Seal\u2019s testing requirements mean that certified products are verified to deliver uncompromising performance.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the latest in a series of partnerships Green Seal has announced to promote certified products, cleaning services and hotels, including with Wayfair<\/a>, Google Travel, the International WELL Building Institute, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Health Product Declaration Collaborative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about Green Seal\u2019s partnerships in our\u202fImpact Report<\/a>, and learn more about Wayfair\u2019s Shop Sustainably initiative\u202fhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our partnership with Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly has expanded to the U.K., Germany, Italy, France, and Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":2109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,4,1],"tags":[73,23],"class_list":["post-4702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-seal-notice","category-science-based-standards","category-trends-in-sustainability","tag-power-in-partnership","tag-sustainability"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4702"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10063,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4702\/revisions\/10063"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenseal.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
