Join the Climate Pledge Friendly initiative with Soil Association Certification
You have probably heard of Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly initiative but what does 'Climate Pledge Friendly’ actually mean?
The Climate Pledge is Amazon’s commitment to reach net zero carbon by 2040, and as a result they have introduced a new logo to help consumers to discover and shop for more sustainable products.
Soil Association Certification are partners of the initiative, which highlights products that meet a wide range of sustainability standards, helping to preserve the natural world by focussing on reputable and transparent certifications, such as Soil Association Certification.

Why are Soil Association Certification involved in the scheme?
Soil Association Certification’s involvement means our clients will be able to trade on Amazon with the Climate Pledge Friendly badge and benefit from access to millions of shoppers who are searching for sustainable certified products.
There is a continued boost in demand for organic and growing recognition among consumers that organic represents the healthy choice for people, nature and planet. The Amazon initiative provides shoppers with greater choice across organic food and drink, with a dedicated search functionality to enable them to find brands that meet the Climate Pledge Friendly criteria, helping to further grow online organic sales.
The Soil Association Organic Principles of Health, Ecology, Fairness and Care express the contribution that organic agriculture can make to the world and the Climate Pledge Friendly initiative helps to connect consumers with this message.
We’re delighted to be partnering with the Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly scheme to give our licensees access to millions of new customers seeking organic and planet-friendly products.Clare McDermott, Soil Association Certification
