"Climate Pledge Friendly is Amazon's new Climate Pledge Friendly program.
The program will provide a unique label for certified products, making them more accessible to environmentally conscious and green consumers, and letting buyers know which brands are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to the planet's ecology.
The plan comes against the backdrop of Amazon's joint Climate Declaration in 2019, which commits to a carbon-neutral, or net-zero, carbon emissions target by 2040 - 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement - and projects full use of clean energy by 2025.
Climate Friendly Commitment Certification is a voluntary, advocacy-based certification compared to mandatory certifications such as VAT and EPR. Currently in the traffic bonus period, the earlier the certification, the greater the advantage of sellers.
1、Products with Climate Friendly Commitment certification will have a Climate Friendly Label (as shown in the picture) when they are displayed on the search page, which is also known as the Climate Friendly Label.
Buyers can also check the certification type of the product in detail by clicking on the label.

What is "Compact Design"?
Compact by Design, in Chinese, is to design our product packaging to be more space-saving and material-saving.
How do we determine if our product is "compact"? We have compiled a few examples:
Here's how Amazon makes its products "Compact Design" compliant:
To qualify as a compact design, a product must have first-class "unit efficiency".
We use product attributes such as product package size, product weight and unit quantity to calculate the unit efficiency of a product.
A unit is defined as the total amount of product in the container we are evaluating. This is standardized across product categories, such as fluid ounces in detergent, volume in laundry detergent, and ounces in coffee.
Unit efficiency is calculated by the formula (cubic volume per unit) x (weight per unit). This indicator allows us to calculate the volume and weight utilization per unit quantity of product delivered. In this equation, a lower value of unit efficiency means a more efficient design.
For example, concentrated laundry detergents provide the same number of units (loads) in a smaller volume and weight than non-concentrated laundry detergents, resulting in better unit efficiency.
To set thresholds, Amazon calculates the unit efficiency of each item in a product category and sets thresholds to identify the most efficient products in each product category. Products with unit efficiencies above the category threshold qualify for compact design and are part of the Climate Friendly Commitment.
Compact Design Category Thresholds and Additional Information
Compact Design Category Thresholds and Additional Information Content Includes.
1. Compact design meets category thresholds

2. Eligible products are added to the requirements of the Design Deed and Climate Friendly Commitment:
1) There is a proper PRODUCT_TYPE in the catalog;
2) Related to registered brands;
3) Fill in the "unit count" correctly, and the "unit_count_type" value must be consistent with the threshold value;
4) Filling of measurement data by Amazon Logistics Center;
5) For concentrated products
: "equivalent_product_volume" must be filled in correctly.
3. Calculate whether the design is compact according to the formula.
Calculation of unit efficiency of concentrated products
For concentrated products, such as concentrated detergents, where the customer must add water before use, Amazon determines the number of units of "equivalent product volume" of the product used. The equivalent product volume represents the total "usable" volume of the product when it is not concentrated or mixed with the appropriate amount of liquid.
What is a Used Certified Product?
Used products (refurbished products) are inspected, cleaned and (if applicable) repaired to excellent functional standards.
Used products (refurbished products) avoid the need to extract additional raw materials (metals, plastic oils, etc.) needed to make new product components. In addition, refurbished products extend the life of the product and prevent it from being thrown away outright. This is why certified used products are a good choice.
Buying used products extends the life of your products and reduces e-waste and raw material extraction. Used certification is part of the Climate Commitment Friendly Program, helping you discover and purchase more sustainable products.
How do products qualify for the Used Certification Program?
Approved categories of reconditioned products will be certified as reconditioned if the product meets the required standards of repair. Once eligible refurbished products have passed quality checks, they will be tested and placed in the program.
To qualify, the product must meet all of the following criteria:The product must be pre-owned, have electrical or mechanical components that can be replaced or upgraded to an excellent functional standard.
The product must be in an approved category and meet standard criteria, have a battery capacity in excess of 80% of new equivalent capacity, and use original equipment manufacturer parts for any repair operations.
These are the approved categories: video games, electronics, cell phones and accessories, office supplies, sports and outdoors, industrial and science, health, home and baby care, home and kitchen, home appliances, apparel, footwear and jewelry, musical instruments, video and more.
3. The product must be supported by the manufacturer and not a discontinued model.
4. 90-day guarantee
Used Certified products are backed by an Amazon Renewal Warranty. The standards for these products require strict adherence to quality guidelines and guarantee that if a customer is not completely satisfied with their purchase, they have 90 days to a year to return it, depending on location.
While the Climate Friendly Commitment certification is not mandatory for Amazon, there is no better time than the present to get certified to participate in the program.
As more and more enterprises begin to pay attention to low-carbon manufacturing, demonstrate their own social responsibility, and want to seize the Amazon bonus period, so that their products on the Amazon front to show the green label, many outstanding enterprises in the industry began to join the Amazon "climate-friendly commitment certification.
Green Circle Accounting Firm has cooperated with an authoritative organization officially certified by Amazon, and has already uploaded the "Climate Friendly Commitment Certification" service. Sellers who have the need can contact the sales lady of Green Circle.
