For almost 30 years, EWG has tracked chemical safety and warned consumers about companies that use hazardous chemicals in items such as cosmetics and other personal care products. “ We are delighted that Amazon has selected EWG VERIFIED to include in its effort to feature more-sustainable products as a way to protect our climate. When Amazon shoppers see the Climate Pledge Friendly label on a product that has earned the EWG VERIFIED mark, they’ll know that it is also one of the products identified as more sustainable on Amazon, in addition to meeting our industry-leading benchmarks for health.” Ken Cook President, EWG 2021 Sustainability Report Introduction I Environment I Society I Governance I Appendix 31
