MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® Supports Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly
Shirley® is excited to be supporting OEKO-TEX® in participating with the MADE IN GREEN label in Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly, which launched on 28th October in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain. The goal is to make it easier for customers to discover and shop for more sustainable products.
The Climate Pledge Friendly badge, which will be shown on more than 40,000 products in Europe, signifies to customers that the products have one or more of 19 different sustainability certifications that help preserve the natural world.
Amazon evaluated hundreds of external sustainability certifications and chose organizations that certify products that have demonstrated environmentally related sustainability benefits. OEKO-TEX® is proud to be one of the third-party entities certifying Climate Pledge Friendly textile and leather products with our MADE IN GREEN traceable product label.
“Shirley® are excited to support OEKO-TEX® in creating more transparency along the textile supply chain. Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly is a fantastic initiative,” said Stephen Donnelly, Shirley® Managing Director. “It’s really important that shoppers are given the opportunity to make safer and more sustainable purchasing decisions that will protect our planet and future generations in years to come,” from Lesley Hughes, Shirley® Chief Operating Officer.
“MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® is the right partner for Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly program because our missions are aligned. MADE IN GREEN takes a holistic approach by testing products for harmful substances, verifying that manufacturers meet strict environmental sustainability standards and ensuring employers protect worker health and wellbeing,” said Georg Dieners, OEKO-TEX® Secretary General.
The Climate Pledge Friendly selection includes beauty, fashion, grocery, household and personal electronics products, as well as items from a range of other categories.
