Officeworks Sustainability Commitments
2025
Use 100% renewable energy
Officeworks has said it will use 100% renewable energy by 2025. Renewable energy means electricity from sources like wind and solar rather than fossil fuels. Independent coverage says the company reached this target in 2024, but the commitment itself was set as a 2025 goal.
2025
Plant 2 million trees
Officeworks has set a goal to plant 2 million trees by 2025 through its work with Greening Australia and its People & Plant range. Tree planting can help restore habitats and absorb carbon, although the real impact depends on where and how the trees are planted.
2025
Become a zero-waste business
Officeworks has said it wants to become a zero-waste business by 2025. Zero waste means trying to avoid sending materials to landfill by reusing, repairing, recycling, and redesigning waste out of the system. The company has already made progress, but this target shows the direction it set for the future.
2025
Repair, repurpose or recycle 17,000 tonnes
Officeworks has committed to repairing, repurposing, or recycling 17,000 tonnes of unwanted products by 2025. This is a circular economy goal, meaning products should stay in use for longer instead of being thrown away. It fits with the company’s recycling and take-back programs.
2025
Make packaging reusable or recyclable
Officeworks has said it wants all packaging to be reusable or recyclable by 2025. Recyclable packaging can be processed into new material, while reusable packaging can be used again. This target matters because packaging waste is a major issue for retailers.
2025
Remove deforestation from supply chain
Officeworks has committed to ensuring zero deforestation in its supply chain by 2025. Deforestation means clearing forests, often for farming or raw materials. A zero-deforestation goal means the company wants to avoid buying products linked to forest loss.
