- This is an unclaimed profile. Myer has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Myer is a large Australian retailer with a public sustainability rating from Good On You, which says the brand is not taking enough action on key environmental and labour issues in its supply chain. The rating points to weak evidence on lower-impact materials, hazardous chemicals, biodiversity, living wages, and worker protections. Myer’s own website content in the provided material is mainly product and promotion focused, so there is little direct sustainability detail from the brand itself here. Independent review data also shows very poor customer sentiment on Trustpilot, though that is about service rather than sustainability. Overall, the public picture is mixed to negative, with more criticism than verified progress. Common Criticisms: Public sentiment in the provided material is strongly negative on Trustpilot. Myer’s main Trustpilot page shows a 1.5 out of 5 score based on 1,541 reviews, which points to widespread customer dissatisfaction. The review snippet shown is not sustainability-specific, but it does suggest weak overall trust and service experience. On sustainability, Good On You also gives Myer a "Not good enough" rating and says there is little evidence of strong action on lower-impact materials, hazardous chemicals, biodiversity, living wages, or worker protections. That combination creates a poor public picture: customers appear unhappy, and independent sustainability assessors say the brand has not shown enough progress in key environmental and labour areas.

Myer Sustainability Commitments
2025
Private label packaging target
Myer says it plans to convert its private brand product packaging to reusable, recyclable, or compostable formats by 2025. This is a future target, not a completed result. The company links this to its wider packaging work, including better labels and more recycled or fibre-based materials. Compostable means a material can break down into natural parts under the right conditions.
2028
Foundation strategy through FY24-28
The Myer Foundation says its FY24–28 Sustainability & Environment Program will support climate action that helps Australia move toward net zero. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest. The program says it will make multi-year grants to organisations that fit its climate focus, and it does not accept unsolicited applications. This is a planned funding strategy for the 2024–2028 period.
2050
Net zero by 2050
The Myer Foundation says it aims to help achieve net zero emissions by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement. It also says it wants to at least halve emissions by 2030. These are long-term climate goals for its philanthropy and grantmaking, not for the retail business alone. The foundation says it will use a portfolio approach, meaning it will back several different kinds of climate work at once.
