Australian Businesses Doing Good.
Australian consumers are increasingly choosing businesses that value sustainable practices - and we don’t blame them.
If you’re a company in 2025 without a sustainable edge or goal, don’t stress!
Let us inspire you with Aussie businesses doing good. Read on to find out.
But first, what does it mean to be sustainable in business?
This is a big topic so we’ll cut to the chase - it means giving a sh*#! about the people and environment!
Examples include:
Product packaging 📦: sourcing recycled materials.
Fair labour practices 🛠️: fair wages and treatment of staff.
Diversity and inclusion 🤝: creating opportunities for underrepresented groups.
Reducing your carbon footprint 🌏: reducing your waste consumption with a recycling system.
Why does it matter?
Having a sustainable edge could be the ultimate deciding factor for consumers.
Brand reputation: be known by consumers for giving back to the community or the planet.
Employee retention: people will work for you if you have a sustainable goal in place that aims to create change and aligns with their personal values.
Customer loyalty: the biggest asset for businesses that is priceless.
Market competitiveness: it could be the deciding factor for consumers purchasing from your business versus a business without any consideration for sustainability.
The list goes forever…
Top 4 Aussie businesses doing good.
1.Who Gives a Crap 🧻
Since launching in 2013, they have donated 50% of their profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation across the globe. Their products are made from recycled fibres, never virgin trees.
2. Koh 🧼
Koh has zero harsh chemicals or toxic fumes in their cleaning product range, making their products safer for the environment and consumers. Their refillable system means that they use 10x less plastic than regular cleaning products.
3. Huskee.☕
Made from coffee husks, Huskee cups are made to last a lifetime through the HuskeeLoop program. The program enables old Huskee cups to be repurposed into new products e.g. dog bowls, phone cases. We help collect these cups FYI.
4. Afends 👗
The brand aims to bring the manufacturing process of their clothing back to Australia by building a hemp processing facility; aka The Sleepy Hollow Farm. This will also be used as a research facility for all things hemp.
