Our strict ingredient policy , ongoing adoption of more sustainable own brand packaging , and continuous work towards a sustainable waste management plan are keys steps on the journey of lessening our waste to landfill and environmental pollutant impact. We are also aligned to the 2030 SDG 12 target of substantially reducing waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.
Through aspiring to provide a circular retail model, we align to the SDG 13 goal of taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Through our supplier policies, trade agreements, ingredient policy, and environmental partnership with the Greenpop reforestation organisation, we are taking urgent action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity, and protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species. Our team member, supplier, and consumer awareness creation and education around responsible consumption further contribute to this.
Each of these goals is an ongoing project. Once baseline assessments have been established through improved data integrity for tracking and monitoring, we will be able to share more definable targets.
We invite you to join us on the journey of living life well for the earth from here…
