Progress

We invent, develop, and deliver products and services in a responsible way, which helps our customers on their sustainability journeys. We're working to make our products more sustainable, from how we build them, to how we package them, to how customers use them.

For the third-party items we offer that have achieved certification from trusted external sustainability certifiers, we've created the Climate Pledge Friendly program to help customers in the U.S. and Europe more easily discover and shop for more sustainable products. We're making our AWS cloud infrastructure more energy efficient to help our customers meet their sustainability goals, while providing them with the cloud-based tools they need to manage their own impacts.

Our program helps customers in the U.S. and Europe discover and shop for more sustainable products. While shopping on Amazon, customers can find the Climate Pledge Friendly label on eligible products. To identify these products, we partner with a wide range of trusted and transparent external certifications.

We routinely assess the certification landscape, adding and developing new certifications and reviewing our existing ones against our high bar for transparency, credibility, and customer trust. There are 55 certifications that recognize products with at least one aspect of sustainability, ranging from recycled content to energy efficiency to safe chemicals.

We consider sustainability from the beginning stages of design for our private brands' products—which include apparel, grocery, home, electronics, and more. Through our commodities sourcing goals, we prioritize using recycled content, reducing material use, and improving recyclability of our products.

To support the elimination of deforestation associated with raw materials and ingredients within our food and consumables Private Brands supply chains, we’ve made commitments across the use of palm oil, paper and paper packaging, beef, soy, cocoa, coffee, and tea. In 2023, Amazon Private Brands and Whole Foods Market Private Brands made significant progress toward our deforestation risk reduction and other sourcing goals, achieving those set for paper products, eggs, cotton, and manufactured cellulosic fibers.
