Arnotts Group (also refer to individual brands) Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability reports

The Arnott’s Group has published several sustainability reports, including reports for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. These reports describe progress on sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, waste, and community support. The company also says its reporting is meant to be more transparent and to cover a wider part of its business as it grows. This matters because sustainability reports are one of the main ways a company shows what it has done, not just what it plans to do.

Set climate and packaging targets

The group has set targets to reach net-zero emissions in operations by 2040 and across its value chain by 2050. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest. It also aims to reduce, reuse, or repurpose plastic packaging in Australia and New Zealand by 10% by 2025 and meet Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets. These goals show a focus on both climate and waste.

Improved packaging recyclability

Arnott’s said it adopted the Australasian Recycling Label on 72% of its product portfolio and aimed to reach 100% by 2024. It also said it moved all point-of-sale displays in Australia to recyclable alternatives and planned to shift its soft plastic packaging in Australia and New Zealand to mono-material, meaning packaging made from one main material so it is easier to recycle. These steps are aimed at making packaging simpler to sort and recycle.

Worked on responsible sourcing

The company said it secured commitments from 90% of suppliers of ingredients and packaging to follow its Responsible Sourcing Supplier Code. It also said it used an ethical standards framework for suppliers, with 96.3% compliance by ingredient and packaging suppliers. In plain terms, this means it set rules for suppliers on issues like labour and business conduct, then checked how well they followed them. This is part of its effort to make the supply chain more accountable.

Expanded renewable energy use

Arnott’s said it committed to renewable energy solutions and planned solar power systems across its bakery sites in Australia. A later project summary also said it installed an energised solar battery storage system at its Huntingwood bakery. Solar and battery systems can help cut reliance on fossil fuels and make factory energy use cleaner and more stable.

Donated food and community support

The company reported donations of 794,600 products to Foodbank and 100,000 products to EatUp, along with cash support for Camp Quality and Fairy Sparkle through the Arnott’s Foundation. It also said it supports communities through food, health, and inclusion programs. These actions show a social impact focus alongside environmental work.

Developed more resilient wheat

Arnott’s worked with Allied Pinnacle and Longreach wheat breeders on a new soft wheat variety called Scotch. The company said the crop has better yield, stronger drought tolerance, and more resilience against pests. This kind of work can help farmers grow ingredients with less risk from dry weather and other climate pressures, while also supporting a more stable supply chain.
