Join the Climate Pledge Friendly initiative with Soil Association Certification

If you are certified to Soil Association Organic standards, you are automatically awarded the Climate Pledge Friendly badge on Amazon. 

With searches of “Organic food near me” searches increasing by 850% during 2022, and organic sales online growing at 12%, it’s very clear how important it is to highlight your organic certification online.

The automatic sign-up to Amazon’s CPF scheme is just one of the many benefits of certifying with Soil Association Certification and are excited to offer Amazon customers a new route to finding organic products.  

This automatic process is dependent on your product having a visible Soil Association symbol on pack. If this is not the case, please do contact us through the form below to get your product CPF approved. 

What does Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly initiative actually mean?  

Climate Pledge Friendly highlights products with trusted third-party certifications and Amazon-developed certifications and Amazon-developed certifications, that meet sustainability standards and support our commitment to help preserve the natural world.

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. We are also able to verify that businesses that are claiming to be organic are in fact certified.

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
