Consumers in Australia are more likely to switch brands for sustainability reasons than any other country in the world. By managing our operations in a sustainable way, we can minimise our impact on the environment and enhance the reputation of our brands and retailers.
We dispose of waste safely and maintain a stringent program of reusing and recycling, to divert as much waste from landfill as possible. Our suppliers are monitored regularly to ensure they uphold our sustainability standards.
We source sustainable packaging for products that need protection during transport or display. 100% of our waste packaging is recycled, ensuring that we can reduce our impact without damaging the reputation of our brands.
We aim to reduce our water use, by making sure any water from our sales offices, warehouse and supply chain is used as sustainably as possible. This includes management of rainwater runoff and grey water recycling.
Our warehouse was purpose-built with sustainability principles in mind, such as the insulation and careful positioning of vents that allow us to control temperatures without the use of electrical cooling or airflow assistance.
As part of our commitment to sustainability and renewable energy, we have also had Solar Panels installed on our warehouse as well. We aim to maintain an environmentally-friendly business as we continue to pledge our commitment to sustainability for the betterment of all involved.
