Sunrice Sustainability Actions

Joined UN Global Compact

SunRice says it is a participant in the UN Global Compact, a UN-led program that asks companies to follow ten basic rules on human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption. The company links this to its wider ESG work, which means how it handles environmental, social, and governance issues. It also says it focuses on the SDGs where it believes it can have the biggest impact.

Set packaging targets for 2025

SunRice says it has committed to meet Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, or APCO, targets by the end of 2025. It says this includes removing single-use plastic, making all packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and using more recycled content. The site also notes that the REDcycle soft plastics return program stopped in November 2022, so some soft plastic packaging can no longer be returned to stores.

Published sustainability reporting

SunRice says it has sustainability reporting and supplier information available on its website. This suggests it is publishing more detail on its environmental and social work, including how it manages issues across its supply chain, which is the path products take from farms and factories to customers. The material also points readers to a sustainability report, although the report itself was not included in the source text.

Worked on rice quality prediction

SunRice took part in a three-stage quality and prediction program for its national network of growers. The project used the company’s position in the Australian rice industry to improve how rice quality is predicted. Better prediction can help reduce waste, improve planning, and support more efficient use of farm inputs.

Joined food and farm research projects

SunRice appears in third-party project listings linked to agrifood research. These include work on sustainability reporting, carbon and nutrient management, water use, traceability, and climate resilience. The listings suggest the company has been involved in practical research on how to measure and manage environmental impacts in farming and food production.
