Livingstone Sustainability Actions

ISO 14001 environmental system

Livingstone says its environmental management practices are certified to ISO 14001, an international standard for managing environmental impact. This means the company has a formal system for tracking, reviewing, and improving how it handles environmental issues across its operations. The page says this covers offices, warehouses, and supply chain activity, with a focus on reducing waste, improving efficiency, and lowering emissions.

Rooftop solar at warehouses

Livingstone says it has installed 100 kW rooftop solar systems at its Turella and Victorian warehouses. Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity, which can reduce the need for grid power and cut operational emissions. The company says the systems support daily warehouse work and help lower electricity use during peak times.

Packaging work through APCO

Livingstone says it is a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), a group that works on better packaging and recycling in Australia. Through this membership, it says it works on packaging design, reducing unnecessary material, and using Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) guidance, which helps people sort packaging correctly for recycling.

Third-party product checks

Livingstone says all products go through third-party quality testing before shipment. It also says medical products are ARTG certified, meaning they are listed on Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Register, and food-related products are HACCP certified, meaning they follow a food safety system that looks for hazards and controls them. The company also says it is an Accredited Australian Trusted Trader, which is a government-backed trade compliance program.

Sedex membership for sourcing

Livingstone says it is a member of Sedex, a platform used to share information about labour standards and supply chain practices. The company says this supports ethical sourcing, responsible labour practices, and better working conditions across its global supply chain. It also says suppliers are expected to align with its values on safety, equality, and wellbeing.

Workplace support and inclusion

Livingstone says it has a Domestic Violence Support Initiative that offers confidentiality, care, and support for affected employees. It also says it promotes diversity and inclusion through equal access to development, inclusive leadership, and respectful workplaces. These actions are framed as part of its wider responsibility to staff wellbeing and workplace culture.

Reconciliation Action Plan

Livingstone says it has an endorsed Reconciliation Action Plan, often called a RAP, which is a formal plan used in Australia to guide action on reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The company says it is working toward the Innovate stage and is preparing a first draft for submission to Reconciliation Australia.
