Cheetham Salt Sustainability Actions

Published annual ESG reporting

Cheetham Salt says it publishes an ESG report every year. ESG means environmental, social, and governance topics, which cover things like emissions, worker safety, and business ethics. The company says this report helps it track, review, and improve its sustainability and governance work across its salt sites. It also says it reports annually on gender equality and sustainability. This suggests the business is trying to keep its sustainability work organised and visible over time, rather than treating it as a one-off project.

Measured carbon footprint

The company says it has measured its current carbon footprint at about 10,000 tonnes of COâ‚‚e. COâ‚‚e means carbon dioxide equivalent, a way to combine different greenhouse gases into one number. It also says it has set out a decarbonisation pathway, which is a plan for cutting emissions over time. One stated step is reducing reliance on LPG, a fossil fuel used for energy, and looking at cleaner alternatives in processing. This shows the company has started measuring emissions and planning reductions.

Improved packaging and waste

Cheetham Salt says most of its products are already delivered in recyclable and reusable materials. It also says it is working toward 100% sustainable packaging, in line with the National Environment Protection Measures, which are Australian rules that help manage environmental impacts. The company says it separates waste across sites and tries to divert waste away from landfill. In plain terms, it is trying to reduce packaging waste and handle leftovers more carefully during production and delivery.

Biodiversity and habitat care

The company says its salt fields sit near wetlands, coastal areas, and native vegetation, and that these places support biodiversity. Biodiversity means the variety of plants and animals in an area. Cheetham Salt says its fields are home to bird species such as the Capricorn Yellow Chat and that mangroves and tidal marshes around the sites help store carbon. It also says it has a Biodiversity Policy to guide protection of these ecosystems. This points to active management of land and habitat around its operations.

Safety and injury performance

Cheetham Salt says that in the past year it recorded zero work-related fatalities and a Lost Time Injury Rate, or LTIR, of 0.0. LTIR is a safety measure that tracks injuries serious enough to stop someone working. The company presents this as evidence of a safe and supportive workplace. It also says its social work includes health, safety, and wellbeing activities across sites. This suggests worker safety is a major part of its sustainability and people strategy.

Ethical sourcing and modern slavery

The company says it has an Ethical Sourcing Policy that covers responsible buying, fair labour practices, safe working conditions, and the removal of forced or child labour from its supply chain. A supply chain is the network of suppliers and steps needed to make and deliver a product. Cheetham Salt also says it is a member of SEDEX, a platform used to manage social compliance in supply chains, and that it publishes a Modern Slavery Statement each year. This shows it has formal processes for labour and sourcing risks.

Community support activities

Cheetham Salt says it supports local communities through donations to Foodbank, help for local schools, and partnerships with councils. It also says it works with bird watching groups, not-for-profit organisations, and land care groups. These activities are described as part of its social pillar, which focuses on people and community. The company appears to use these links to support local wellbeing and build stronger relationships around the places where it operates.
