SUSTAINABILITY Raphael Maufay, Gardener & Handyman, Blackmores Understanding the innate connection between healthy people and a healthy planet As a company that relies on the bounty of our natural environment, it is fitting that Blackmores is committed to practices that affirm environmental sustainability. However, our approach to sustainability extends beyond the protection of the environment and incorporates our corporate governance, workplace practices and responsibility to the community. These elements have underpinned our business for more than 80 years, though we have more recently developed a framework that will help us manage our performance to ensure our business continues to grow for generations to come. Sustainability is integral to our core business objectives. To embed sustainability in our business and operations we are focusing our efforts on addressing the most material issues across our four sustainability commitments of: Responsible Facility Management – To reduce the environmental intensity and carbon footprint of our facilities and operations. Sustainable Supply Chain Management – To encourage, support and facilitate an environmentally and socially responsible approach to supply chain management. Industry Leadership – To be a leader in natural health solutions through innovation, research and education. People & Community – To give back and build a supportive workforce, community and marketplace. Importantly, we are committed to sharing our vision and knowledge with suppliers, business partners, government and shareholders.
