We have partnered with trusted third-parties and created our own certification, [Compact by Design](https://www.amazon.com/b?node=21221609011), which highlights products that meet sustainability standards and help preserve the natural world. Climate Pledge Friendly continues to expand its selection of more sustainable products, and customers can now see the Climate Pledge Friendly badge on more than 75,000 products across the U.S. and Europe.\n\nNow, Amazon is adding four new certifications to help shoppers find more sustainable products across grocery, household, beauty, and more:\n\n![Safer Choice label that reads: Safer Choice meets U.S. EPA Safer Product Standards.](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/d32f5a9/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1280x720+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F6a%2F83%2F9f897d8046a1bf9c093021289294%2Fsafer-choice-1.jpg)\n\n**[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Safer Choice](https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice)** label helps customers find products made with safer ingredients for the health of families, pets, workplaces, and the environment. Safer Choice-certified products have been carefully evaluated by EPA scientists. Every ingredient must meet strict safety criteria for both human health and the environment. Products made with safer ingredients can help improve indoor air quality and protect municipal waterways.\n\n![EWG VERIFIED label. Also reads, \"For your health.
