Our Impact

We are driven by purpose. Our vision is to effect real, tangible change and create positive social, cultural and environmental impact.

 

We achieve this through mindful & ethical supplier and product choices, support and advocacy for conservation and social programs, and purposeful sponsorship, donation & investment.

Environmental & Social Responsibility

For us, sustainability is not a side project - it’s embedded in everything we do. We aim to continually improve as a business, and to demonstrate measurable ESG outcomes while delivering merchandise that people genuinely value.

​

Conscious Product Options​​

For each client order we offer a selection of eco-conscious product options. This allows you to make an informed decision on how and where you allocate your budget for impact.

​

​

Reduced Plastic Packaging​

We request our suppliers do not use any plastic packaging. In some instances, packaging may serve to protect the product or decoration, however we will advise you of this when ordering.

​

​

Profits Towards Progress​

We contribute from our profits towards a variety of causes such as Ecologi, to help reduce plastic pollution and carbon emissions whilst making a positive impact on social wellbeing and development, and environmental preservation.

​​

​

Office Initiatives​

We maintain a predominantly paperless office with the majority of client communications sent as digital versions. We have a strong focus on recycling including donation of unused merchandise to charities and other causes for re-use.

Ecologi 

We donate part of our profits towards Ecologi, who conduct tree planting programs both globally and across Australia. These reforestation programs assist in protecting rainforest  and mangrove environments, sequestering carbon and regenerating bushfire affected regions.

 

We have also contributed towards global climate programs through Ecologi such as wind power in Thailand, and cleaner cookstoves in Kenya for social improvement and to reduce carbon emissions.

United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals

From the way our products are made to the partners we collaborate with, we align our work with seven of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, helping create a positive impact for people and the planet.

​

1 - 2. Gender Equality & Decent Work (Goals 5 & 8)

We believe everyone deserves safe, fair, and respectful working conditions. That’s why we ensure our suppliers uphold strong ethical standards, including modern slavery policies, fair wages, and gender equity in the workplace. By doing so, we help support livelihoods and empower communities across our supply chain.

​

3. Responsible Consumption & Production (Goal 12)

The products we supply are designed to do more with less. We supply recycled and eco-conscious materials, reduce waste in our manufacturing, and focus on high quality, long-lasting, practical products that help fight overconsumption.

​

4. Climate Action (Goal 13)

We’re committed to lowering our environmental footprint. From choosing eco conscious product materials to working with partners who share our climate goals, we’re tackling carbon emissions and supporting a cleaner, greener future.

​

5. Life Below Water (Goal 14)

Plastic waste doesn’t belong in our oceans. That’s why we supply recycled ocean plastics and RPET products, reducing the need for virgin plastic and helping keep waterways safe for marine life.

​

6. Life on Land (Goal 15)

Our products support ethical and sustainable farming. From organic cotton to responsibly harvested materials, we’re helping protect biodiversity, promote healthier ecosystems, and ensure farming communities can thrive.

​

7. Partnerships for the Goals (Goal 17)

Change is bigger than one brand. That’s why we partner with like-minded suppliers and co-brands who carry global certifications like B Corp, Fairtrade, and FSC. Together, we can create products with purpose and build a better future.
