The Good Guys Sustainability Actions

Publishes yearly sustainability reports

The Good Guys says it publishes a sustainability report every year. The report gives an update on the social and environmental issues it says matter most to its stakeholders, and it tracks progress against its goals and commitments. The company also points readers to JB Hi-Fi Limited’s wider sustainability report, which suggests The Good Guys sits inside a larger group reporting structure. This kind of reporting helps readers see what the business says it is doing, but it is still based on the company’s own disclosure.

Runs waste and recycling programs

The Good Guys says it tries to cut waste and support recycling across its stores and delivery network. It lists cardboard, paper, expanded polystyrene, timber, e-waste (old electronics), and plastics as materials it wants to recycle responsibly. It also says its stores accept batteries through B-cycle, Australia’s official battery stewardship scheme, and that it collects e-waste for recycling and offers trade-in services to keep products out of landfill. These steps mainly support reuse and better material recovery.

Works toward lower emissions

The Good Guys says it is trying to reduce the climate impact of its operations. It states that it is working on scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are the direct emissions from its own operations and the emissions from the energy it buys. The company says it plans to do this by switching to renewable energy across stores and warehouses, improving energy efficiency, and reducing energy use where possible. It presents this as part of its climate action work.

Publishes modern slavery reporting

The Good Guys says it publishes an annual Modern Slavery Statement. A modern slavery statement is a report that explains how a company looks for and responds to risks such as forced labour, debt bondage, and other forms of exploitation in its operations and supply chain. The company says it uses this reporting to assess and address modern slavery risk in both its own business and its supply chain. This is a labour-rights action, not a future promise.

Supports community charities

The Good Guys runs a workplace giving program called Doing Good. It says team members can make pre-tax donations to selected charity partners, and the company matches each dollar donated by staff. The listed partners include groups working on child safety, mental health, homelessness support, cancer care, veteran support, animal welfare, and environmental clean-up. This is a social impact program rather than a product change, but it is part of the brand’s wider ESG activity.

Uses ethical sourcing standards

The Good Guys says it has an Ethical Sourcing Policy for suppliers. The policy covers labour, safety, environmental, and ethical practices that suppliers are expected to follow. The company also says it is a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, a global industry group focused on worker rights and wellbeing in supply chains. This shows the brand is trying to set rules for supplier behaviour, especially around human rights and working conditions.

Accepts and recycles batteries

The Good Guys says its Australian stores are approved battery collection points under B-cycle, which is Australia’s official battery stewardship scheme. Stewardship schemes are systems that help collect and recycle products after use instead of sending them to landfill. By taking back batteries, the company says it helps increase battery recycling and reduce waste from household electronics and accessories.

Collects e-waste and trade-ins

The Good Guys says it collects e-waste through its stores and home delivery centres, and it also offers a trade-in service. E-waste means old or unwanted electronic products. Trade-in services can help extend product life, support reuse, and keep materials in circulation for longer. This is one of the clearest product-linked sustainability actions on the site because it connects sales, returns, and recycling.

Supports selected charity partners

The Good Guys says it works with a fixed group of approved charity partners and is not currently accepting new sponsorship or donation requests. It says this approach helps it focus support on a limited number of organisations and maximise the benefit of its current commitments. The named partners include Berry Street, Black Dog Institute, KickStart for Kids, Orange Sky, PCFA, Soldier On, Daniel Morcombe Foundation, HeartKids, McGrath Foundation, Perth Children’s Hospital, RSPCA, and Clean Up Australia.
