SunRice Sustainability Actions

UN Global Compact participation

SunRice says it is a participant in the UN Global Compact, a UN initiative that asks companies to follow ten basic principles on human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption. The company links this to its wider ESG work and says it uses the framework to show its focus on people and planet. It also says it is working toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially the eight goals where it believes it can have the most impact.

Modern slavery reporting

SunRice says it files an annual Modern Slavery Statement under the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018. It says these statements describe how it identifies, addresses, and reduces the risk of modern slavery in its own operations and supply chain. The company also says it uses training, governance, due diligence, and remediation steps. It says it also reports under the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act.

Supplier sustainability program

SunRice says it has a Supplier Sustainability Program and a Supplier Sustainability Code for suppliers. It also provides training and other resources to help suppliers understand its expectations. The company says its approach is guided by values such as integrity, community, and collaboration. This points to a focus on how suppliers behave, not just on the final product.

Soft plastics packaging response

SunRice says the REDcycle soft plastics return-to-store option in Australia stopped in November 2022, so packaging with that label can no longer be returned to stores. It tells customers to check local recycling options and, if none are available, to place the packaging in landfill. The company also says a Soft Plastics Taskforce has been formed to look for a new return-to-store model in Australia.

Packaging targets for 2025

SunRice says it has committed to meet Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) targets by the end of 2025. It says these targets include 0% single-use plastic, 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable packaging, and 50% recycled packaging. APCO is an industry body that helps companies improve packaging design and recycling outcomes.

Sustainability reporting

SunRice says it publishes sustainability reporting and has a sustainability report available on its website. It also points visitors to information for suppliers and to its sustainability framework. This suggests the company is trying to make its ESG approach more visible, although the level of detail available in the public material varies by topic.
