Freedom Sustainability - SustainabilityTracker.com

We're committed to playing our part in creating a more sustainable future with furniture and homewares built to last. As one of Australia’s largest home lifestyle retailers, we know we can make a difference. Our sustainability framework is centered around three key areas of impact: considered design, smarter packaging and better practices. We are currently working to deliver this framework as part of our first three-year roadmap, which includes goals and 34 initiatives across these focus areas. We are at the start of our journey, and we know change won’t happen overnight, but we’re committed to continuously improving and sharing our journey with you.

Ethical Timber Sourcing Policy

Freedom has implemented an Ethical Timber Sourcing Policy (ETSP), working closely with local and international suppliers with the goal of having all timber materials used in the production of furniture credibly and ethically sourced from legal and sustainable forest operations. This work is ongoing and our team at Freedom is continually reviewing our policies to ensure all goals are achieved.

Modern Slavery & Ethical Sourcing

All of our suppliers are required to sign a Modern Slavery Declaration, as we recognise the responsibility of operating in a transparent and ethical manner, in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2018. Our Modern Slavery statement can be viewed on the Australian Border Force Modern Slavery Register: https://modernslaveryregister.gov.au/statements/12474/ .
