Honest to Goodness Sustainability Actions

Joined net zero pledge

In late 2019, Honest to Goodness joined a pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2030. It says it is working with local experts to set a baseline first, then reduce emissions over time. The company also says it will self-report its performance each year. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or offsets.

Expanded bulk product options

By 2021, Honest to Goodness said bulk products made up nearly half of the floor space in its retail store. It used fill-your-own bulk bins, resealable paper packaging for flour, reusable containers for liquids, and large bulk sizes for some products. This approach is meant to reduce packaging waste and make refilling easier for customers.

Used reusable refill systems

The company says it offers refill options for liquid products such as dishwashing, laundry, and disinfectant items. Customers can bring their own bottles or buy rPET bottles, which are made from recycled plastic. Honest to Goodness describes this as a way to cut waste and reduce the need for single-use packaging.

Improved warehouse packaging

Honest to Goodness says its warehouse uses paper void fill that is biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable, and that it reuses boxes for shipping. It also says plastic packaging is collected by a recycling service and that all plastics and cardboard used in its production facility are recycled. The company says it keeps looking for better packaging options after a compostable packaging trial failed.

Reduced energy use on site

At its head office and warehouse, the company says it has switched to LED lighting and uses energy-efficient fridges and air conditioning. It also says it avoids single-use items in the office and uses recycled toilet paper. These are practical steps aimed at lowering energy use and cutting everyday waste.

Donated unsold food

Honest to Goodness says damaged products that cannot be sold are given to staff when possible, and expired or damaged goods that are not fit for sale are donated to OzHarvest, a food rescue charity. This helps keep edible food out of landfill and supports redistribution instead of disposal.

Published a sustainability report

The company says it has a 2020–2021 sustainability report and invites readers to follow its sustainability journey. It also says it reports on its progress across its head office, warehouse, and retail store. Public reporting like this can help readers track what a company says it is doing and whether it follows through.
