Sustainability At Freedom
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.

Freedom's Dandenong DC
Freedom launched a state-of-the-art DC facility in Dandenong South Victoria. The new DC is a 24,345sqm space with 100-kilowatt solar power system, water-efficient rainwater harvesting, double glazed windows which bring in natural light and foil-faced insulation throughout. We've also implemented efficient LED lighting and motion sensors, with the metering of utilities. To create a better working environment for our staff the facility also boasts vertical gardens in the reception and lunchroom areas, enhanced air quality systems, bike racks, lockers, and filtered water. The building is currently being assessed under the Green Star sustainability rating to validate the effectiveness of these initiatives.
