Trump promoted the domestic brand Anker power bank, and Zhiwubuyan also published an article about it. On August 13, during a live broadcast between Musk and former US President Trump, careful friends discovered that Trump was suspected to be using a magnetic power bank from Anker. As the world's number one digital charging brand, Anker has once again broken through the circle. According to data from Seller Elf, the relevant power banks have achieved monthly sales of nearly 20,000 units in the six months since they were launched on Amazon. Search for "Anker" and you will find that nearly 80% of its core products on Amazon display "little green leaves". On the road to brand differentiation, Anker has quietly built a solid barrier.
1. Why are big sellers so keen on Amazon’s CPF green label?
Yesterday, Amazon and Green Boat held a special live broadcast on "Electronics Category from 0 to 1 to obtain CPF certification", and the CPF team revealed a lot of valuable information. For example, the official has 22 traffic ports, but the traffic support does not reach the exaggerated 10%~35%.
However, early participants have obviously tasted the sweetness.
According to Green Boat statistics, among the top 100 Chinese cross-border e-commerce brands sold on the Amazon platform, nearly 30% have at least one product that has obtained Amazon's "green label". And as time goes by, green-label products have begun to appear in a large number of categories. Among them, 28% of the links in the BSR list of the Webcam category have green labels.
In 2023, Green Boat teamed up with ClimatePartner to conduct carbon footprint certification for Anker's products, including products from multiple brands such as Anker, Eufy, Soundcore, and Nebula.
Today, on the Amazon platform, Anker has hundreds of products that have obtained carbon-related certifications and are recommended to consumers on Amazon as green and sustainable consumer products.
In a market environment where traffic growth has encountered bottlenecks and conversion rates are difficult to improve , not only Anker Innovations, but also major 3C sellers such as UGREEN and BASEUS have taken the lead in hanging up the small green label. They have integrated sustainable development into their corporate development strategies and attracted countless buyers by making green innovations in commodity raw materials, production, packaging, etc.
2. Is the Climate Green Label useful? In the past, whoever could grasp the new traffic could stand out in the fierce competition. As the global climate crisis intensifies and consumers' environmental awareness increases, consumers will definitely require brands to be more sustainable in the future. With the addition of more and more competing products, the "CPF small green label" has become one of the differentiated competitive points of the Amazon platform. Sellers who are waiting and watching may feel anxious. Products that join early are likely to be recommended to the competing DSP video ad space for free. The reason why Amazon’s “little green label” has attracted great attention from sellers is that there are already many successful cases such as Anker Innovations as precedents.

From an operational perspective, whether to label a product depends on the competitive environment of the category. Categories with a high penetration rate of green labels cannot differentiate themselves by offering products that others do not. Simply put, the certifications suitable for all categories are: - ClimatePartner Certified: The label is transparent and the mechanism is well suited for products with multiple variants or that require constant iteration.
- Carbon Free Certification: Carbon Free is rumored to adjust its rules in September this year to adapt to Amazon's new requirements.
It should be noted that the Carbon Free solution requires sellers to first contact a third party with LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) qualifications to issue an LCA report, so more time and cycle reserves are required. In terms of certification time, the two solutions are almost the same. In the latest price adjustment, Green Boat shortened the commitment cycle for CP and CF certification to 4 to 5 weeks. Sellers who already have relevant certificates can open a case in the background to upload the existing certification and directly apply for the green label for free.
