Chia Sisters Sustainability Actions

Created ethical business framework

In 2021, we created an ethical business framework covering how Chia Sisters’ business model, operations, and governance impact people and the planet. We chose to create this framework through B Corp to gain an objective perspective on areas for improvement.

Attained B Corp Certification

In 2021, we attained B Corp Certification. With a score of 118.6, Chia Sisters ranked among the top 5% of B Corp Certified businesses worldwide for our environmental impact.

Became climate positive

In July 2019, Chia Sisters became an Ekos certified Zero Carbon and Climate Positive company. This accreditation means our overall business activity is actually reducing carbon in the atmosphere.

Installed solar panels

In 2018, we lined our factory roof with 32 solar panels and became New Zealand’s first solar-powered juicery. Our solar panels can harness up to 16,000 watts of energy from the sun each hour.

Used glass and refill packaging

When Chia Sisters launched in 2013, we chose to bottle in glass — an infinitely recyclable material. In 2020, we took our packaging one step further and launched 750ml recycled glass bottles for sharing, along with the option of refilling from kegs for a packaging-free solution.

Became Living Wage Employer

In 2017, Chia Sisters became Nelson's first Living Wage Employer. This accreditation verifies that our employees are paid enough money to have a quality lifestyle.

Produces drinks without additives

We proudly produce New Zealand’s most nutritious, all-natural drinks. Chia Sisters’ beverages have no added sugar, artificial colours, or preservatives.

Launched Businesses for Climate Action

To support other businesses in reducing their carbon emissions, we launched Businesses for Climate Action. The cause is led by volunteers across Te Tauihu (northern regions of the South Island) who assist business owners across the country.
