Product Sustainability As part of our mission to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, we are giving customers access to products that are more sustainable. This includes both our Amazon- branded products and the third- party items we offer that feature sustainability certifications through our Climate Pledge Friendly program. Making Sustainable Shopping Simpler As people change the way they shop and search for products that align with their values, Amazon is empowering our customers to make more informed shopping decisions every day. Our Approach Through the Climate Pledge Friendly program, we are helping customers in the U.S. and Europe discover and shop for more-sustainable products. To identify these products, we partner with a wide range of trusted and transparent external certifications . Qualifying products are labeled in shopping results and have additional sustainability information on their product pages. We also developed our own certification, Compact by Design , to identify products that have a more efficient design. By eliminating excess air, water, and packaging, products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant carbon-emission reductions. Our Journey Since we launched Climate Pledge Friendly in 2020, the number of products included in the program has grown from 75,000 to more than 250,000 by the end of 2021. Search rates for these products have also increased significantly during the same time frame. In 2021, more than 370 million Climate Pledge Friendly units were shipped to Amazon customers and we welcomed 20 new third-party sustainability certifications to the program.

This included a new Guided Buying tool for Amazon Business Prime customers, designed to spotlight Climate Pledge Friendly products. The tool has been adopted by 1,650 organizations since launching in July 2021. Guided Buying steers business customers to Climate Pledge Friendly products as the preferred procurement option by their organizations. Everyday Essentials, Consciously Created With Amazon Aware In early 2022, Amazon launched Amazon Aware, a new line of everyday essential items with third- party certifications featured in our Climate Pledge Friendly program. Amazon Aware helps customers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe to shop for products made from materials such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, and bio-based ingredients. The line features products across apparel, home, beauty, and other categories—all with product- specific certifications, such as Global Recycled Standard for recycled polyester content in apparel items. Bedding and bath products use certified organic cotton and are certified by MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX, which verifies that products are tested for harmful substances and made in safer workplaces with reduced environmental impacts. Household cleaners are made with U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified, bio-based cleaning formulas.
