Employee Safety, Well-being, and Development
Our people are our greatest asset, providing physically and psychologically safe and inclusive workspaces is paramount. To this end and to the very best of our abilities we will ensure:
Health, Wellbeing and Safety
Maintain a safe and healthy work environment, ensuring adherence to the highest safety standards and practices, including monthly reporting on performance to our Board.
Work-Life Balance
Promote fair and lawful policies that support work-life balance including flexible working hours.
Employee Training and Development
Support ongoing training and real time development to enhance employees’ skills and career growth.
Diversity and Inclusion
Foster a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees feel valued and respected.
Employee Engagement
Encourage active employee participation in workplace initiatives and seek their input on improving workplace practices.
Action on Climate
Climate change is a significant issue and will require all businesses, regardless of size or scale to mitigate their impact on the climate. To this end.
Understanding our Impact
Maintain our efforts to understand our footprint across emissions scopes 1, 2 and 3 annually. Target reductions and track changes over time.
Energy Efficiency
Encourage energy-efficient practices in our operations to reduce our carbon footprint.
Renewable Energy
Encourage the increased use of renewable energy sources in our facilities where feasible.
Net-Zero
Achieve net-zero by 2030 through a mix of emissions reduction and renewable energy initiatives, and carbon offsets where required.
Sustainable Products by Design
We pride ourselves on products sourced and designed to last and we share a commitment to sustainable design with our suppliers. To this end.
Sustainable Materials
Prioritise the use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials in the products we supply.
Toxicity Reduction
Eliminate the use of certain hazardous substances in our products to ensure safety and environmental compliance
Product Longevity
Supply products with a longer lifespan, greater operational efficiency, and serviceability, supporting “the right to repair” to reduce waste.
Education & Awareness
Develop customer, consumer, and community communications to support broader understanding of sustainability including energy-efficient lighting, waste reduction and recycling and circularity practices.
Packaging
As a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant, we are guided by sustainable packaging approaches that reduce the environmental impact of the packaging we put into the marketplace. With the elimination of all single use plastic packaging and expanded polystyrene from our operations we are further driving:
Packaging Selection
A transition to 100% recyclable or reusable packaging materials by end of 2025.
Packaging Reduction
Reductions in the amount of packaging used without compromising product protection.
Reusability
Reusing received packaging within our shipping practices to reduce new packaging required.
Circularity
Our approach to circularity recognises the role we play in reducing waste to landfill and extending the lifecycle of our products. To support our intention, we have:
Resource Efficiency
Partnered with suppliers that have optimised product design and manufacturing processes to use fewer resources and generate less waste.
Recycle, Repair and Refurbishment
Established a customer facing repair and refurbishment scheme for our products to extend their use and reduce waste.
Product Take-Back Program
Set course for the establishment of a take-back program to facilitate the recycling and repurposing of selected decorative products at the end of their life cycle.
