Responsible Consumption and Production

Fully Renewable Resource

Seaweed is a fully renewable natural resource in Ireland. From sea to skin, we go to great lengths to maintain the unique purity of our seaweed. We do not need to use any of our precious freshwater resources for irrigation; we do not require the use of fertiliser, pesticides, or even soil. Every step in our process is natural and sustainable. Seaweed naturally absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere acting as what to refer to carbon sinks, as its growth rate is about 30% to 60% times the rate of land-based plants. All scientific research indicates that seaweed will play a huge role in fighting climate change by absorbing carbon emissions, regenerating marine escosystems, creating biofuel and renewable plastics as well as generating marine protein for years to come.

Sustainable Harvesting

VOYA help to protect the biodiversity of the west coast reefs through sustainable and traditional harvesting practices. At VOYA, our expert harvesting team check the tide levels of the Atlantic Ocean weeks in advance to strategically plan which type of seaweed to harvest based on tides and weather conditions. They only use sustainable harvesting practices, which simply means that the seaweed is selected by eye and harvested by hand. No machinery is used so as not to harm the delicate seabed or marine life. Only a small portion of the seaweed is cut at a time to ensure it grows back within 6 - 24 months. The harvesters, like farmers, move on to the different parts of the reef to allow it to fully grow back and replenish, thus creating sustainable harvesting. This allows species of juvenile algae to flourish and regrow, the team then monitors how the reefs and species are regrowing in different locations.

12 14

Packaging

Our products are packaged using recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable materials. Our carton packaging board is a special blend of FSC certified pulps using our own harvested seaweed and our packing chips are 100% biodegradable and dissolve in water. VOYA use glass or 100% recycled plastics where possible.

Transparency

In an aim to showcase our product’s organic accreditations, VOYA displays the individual product accolades on our website under the FAQ section alongside their full ingredients list. We want to bring transparency to beauty and wellness at a time when the public hungers for integrity and clarity. Through the tradition of sustainable seaweed harvesting, VOYA’s native knowledge of this natural resource is second to none. Seaweed in our eyes is and always will be a health remedy. We know our harvesters, scientists and suppliers by name, and we guarantee that our products are the most pristine on the market. That is why, after you use our Lazy Days seaweed bath, we recommend you add it to your own organic garden to share its goodness back to the earth.

Born from our desire to minimize our footprint on the earth, our new range of leather alternative sneakers and heels are the first of their kind.

Sugarcane Footbed

On our journey to make a better product, we started with our petroleum-based footbeds. In 2021, we introduced our 60% sugarcane footbeds. Sourced from Brazil, this is a renewable resource that grows quickly and relies on rainwater to thrive (not irrigation) and helps to remove carbon from the atmosphere in the process. While a great step, we continued to work towards increasing the bio content in our product. We’re proud to have introduced our B.plantfoam™ footbed. Made from 72% plant-based materials (USDA-certified biobased) with a carbon footprint of 3.85 kg CO2e, it reduces CO2 emissions by 70% compared to traditional petroleum-based footbeds.

Sustainably Sourced Fruit & Plant Stem Cells

At Enbacci, we are best known for our product formulations that incorporate the power of fruit and plant stem cells. We currently formulate with grape stem cells, apple stem cells and flower stem cells from a flower that has survived that last Ice Age. The technology behind sourcing these ingredients was recognised as an eco breakthrough at the Rio20+ Sustainability Conference in 2012. Very little plant material is required in order to cultivate a large batch of stem cells for product formulation. Therefore, little to no agricultural land is required and as such, there is a significant reduction of water consumption compared to conventional biomass production. There is also no need for fertiliser or pesticides, so these toxins are not being introduced into the environment. The cultivation process supports conservation practices. An example of this is through the variety of apple we use. It is known as the Uttwiler Spätlauber, which is famously known for its longevity and storability. There are, unfortunately, very few trees of the Uttwiler Spätlauber left in the world. As such, this particular variety was integrated into Swiss National Action Plan for the Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources in Food and Agriculture and is protected by the ProSpecie Rara (a Swiss, non-profit foundation whose purpose is to conserve and promote genetic diversity of flora and fauna). A majority of the remaining trees are organically cultivated by local Swiss farmer, who supplies his fruit for stem cell cultivation!

Who Gives A Crap

We convinced our landlord to spell out CRAP in solar panels

In very serious and exciting news: we convinced one of the biggest landlords in Australia to install solar panels on the rooftop of our Melbourne warehouse. Even more serious and exciting: the panels spell out the words ‘WE GIVE A CRAP!!’ Why that specific message? Because we care about the future of our planet and wanted to shout about it from our rooftops. Putting our entire team on the roof with megaphones was a safety hazard, so solar panels it was.

This month our young business achieved an incredible milestone, something we believe to be a world-first. This month 10,000 used pouches made their way through our custom-built pouch cleaning and sanitising machine, proving our zero-waste business model can achieve scale. Hazzah! The journey to get to this moment has been long, winding and full of pot-holes. It’s involved more than a few near misses and outright failures. And as with all great stories it’s also involved a dash of pioneering adventurism, perseverance in the face of adversity and contributions of countless brave souls willing to push beyond the boundaries of what has been done before. So to mark this momentous occasion I thought I’d take the time to share with our community, supporters, friends, family, customers and shareholders the warts-and-all reality of getting to this moment.

Reuse, recycle, repurpose

Our Danish manufacturing facilities are working together with a number of partners, including the Danish Technological Institute and several other Danish companies, to deliver an innovative program called ‘RePURpose’ which aims to find new ways to reuse and recycle polyurethane (one of the key ingredients in our TEMPUR ® Material).

Global tracking and benchmarking

During 2020, we began tracking our electricity usage, water usage, and carbon emissions at all our manufacturing facilities and distribution centres. This allows us to create baselines, adopt target reduction goals, and implement programmes to reduce energy consumption and emissions across the business. In 2020, our Danish plant reduced annual emissions by over 10,000 metric tonnes of CO2 – the equivalent of 2,242 cars being driven for a year! In 2021, we are now transitioning to third-party World Resources Institute-certified accounting of emissions to help us measure and benchmark our progress. Using these recognised standards ensures we are presenting a true and fair account of our emissions.

Creating long-lasting products

All TEMPUR® mattresses have a 10-year lifespan, meaning they need replacing less frequently. We’re always looking for new ways to repurpose or upcycle. We offer easy upgrade options – you can replace the top cover of your mattress to give it a new lease of life and make it last longer. The covers on TEMPUR® mattresses and pillows can be separated from the foam core so they can enter separate recycling streams. Our mattresses’ foam cores are made up of 3-4 layers from materials of the same origin to enable better recyclability. When our mattresses reach their end of life, the polyurethane foam can be cleaned and shredded for use in carpet underlay, insulation panels, car seats and boxing pads. And we are continuously searching for more ways to utilise our unique material.

Circular Economy

The world’s natural resources are limited. So we’ve committed to become a circular business by 2040 – maximising resource efficiency across vehicles, components and materials. We’re focussed on eliminating waste, making greater use of recycled material, and remanufacturing and reusing parts. Design for circularity: Most companies (and people) still participate in a linear economy – you take raw material, make a product, use it, and in the end, throw it out as waste. A circular economy maximises resources by designing products for durability, reuse and recycling. From the start, we’re considering a vehicle’s entire life cycle and how to maximise the value delivered throughout that time. When that’s over, the dissasembly and recycling process can provide high quality and quantity raw materials. More remanufacturing: Compared to producing new parts, remanufactured parts use around 85 per cent less raw material and 80 per cent less energy. We currently remanufacture 36 different component groups, including engines, gearboxes, turbo compressors and clutches. In 2021 we saved over 4,000 tonnes of CO2 by remanufacturing over 37,000 parts. Less production waste: In 2021, 96 per cent of our global production waste was recycled – so we avoided creating additional carbon emissions and were able to keep valuable material in circulation. This also reduced the amount of virgin material needed. Recycling: Our largest waste stream is metal from car production, which amounted to 209,000 tonnes in 2021 and is entirely recycled.

Evidence

We develop and explore circularity in every area.

Our sports socks for example contain recycled cotton and recycled polyester made from both pre & post-consumer waste materials, including reclaimed manufacturing waste. This means resources are used to develop and diverts old textile waste from landfill. Another example is, the cartons we receive in our local warehouse are re-used to re-pack our products and any excess cartons are sent to be recycled. We have also reduced our plastic consumption by reducing the weight and size of our bags. We have replaced all our plastic hooks with cardboard hook and we are constantly looking for ways to improve.

Partnering with Seaqual

OMF has partnered with Seaqual to design mattress fabric material that uses up-cycled plastic - PET bottles that have been cleaned up from the ocean. Seaqual pays fishermen to collect garbage and bring it ashore. The waste then gets sorted and up-cycled into products for consumer use, including our very own Ocean Choice 7 mattress which is our first mattress using this up-cycled material in the top paneling of the mattress.

Protecting Marine Species and Tuna Stocks for the future

Safcol realises that the ocean is our business, and if we overfish tuna stocks and in the process destroy other marine life, we are destroying our own source of income. That is why we changed the way we fish, and have continued to lead the way in responsible fishing. We work closely with fishing vessels that catch our fish and do not purchase from any illegal fishing vessels.

Solar Power at our Head Office and Manufacturing Facility

In March 2020 we moved our Melbourne head office, manufacturing and warehousing facilities at the time to solar energy. In late 2021, we moved to our new state-of-the-art facilities where we were unable to install solar energy straight away. It was a requirement that we monitor the power output of our new machinery for a period of time to ensure the right system could be put into place to cover our needs. The 1st of May 2022 we were able to make the switch, and are pleased to report that since then, to the 15th of December 2024 we have saved the equivalent of 101 tonnes of CO2 emissions. That is the equivalent of 406,917km not driven in a car expelling CO2 or 2600 trees planted to use up the CO2 emitted.

Heropacks - Eco-Conscious Mailers

For all online orders, where appropriate, we are distributing them using Heropacks. These eco-conscious mailers are made from home-compostable materials such as corn starch and PBAT. Taking 90-120 days to break in your home or backyards compost heap. Just remove any labels and cut them up. What happens if they end up in landfill? “In a home-compost, HEROPACK mailers take 90 days to break down. As most landfills are deprived of oxygen, all materials ending up in landfill do not degrade as intended, including our compostable products. Due to the nature of the landfill process, this will add to methane production. If a landfill is exposed to oxygen, then our home-compostable materials with degrade much faster than other materials. In contrast, traditional plastic shipping mailers (including recycled plastic mailers) take 400 years or more to break down, and still release deadly methane gas into the atmosphere. The bottom line is that encouraging businesses and households to compost is on of the best solutions against fighting climate change.” www.heropackaging.com.au

Promoting the recycling of disposable diapers

With the advent of a super-aged society, production of disposable incontinent adult diaper continues to increase and it accounts for around 1/8th of total household waste by volume. In addition, disposable diapers are made from paper pulp which uses wood as its raw material and rising pulp usage leads to the increased consumption of forest resources. We consider efforts to reduce waste incineration costs and CO2 emissions and make effective use of resources the “responsibility of disposable diaper manufacturers,” therefore we began efforts to recycle used disposable diapers in 2015 and are working on technology development and demonstration experiments. Initiatives aimed at promoting the recycling of disposable diapers include - Contributing to SDGs - Creating our own unique recycling system for used disposable diapers (Japan) - Verifying environmental effects and hygienic safety - Collaboration with self-governing bodies - Formulation of “Guidelines for the Reuse of Used Disposable Diapers” (Ministry of the Environment)

Reducing the amount of plastic use

The quantity of "plastic waste in the oceans" has been increasing steadily and, because this type of waste takes a long time to decompose, it is forecast that, by 2050, the combined weight of all the plastic waste in the sea will exceed the combined weight of all the fish living in the oceans. As a manufacturer that uses plastic in its packaging materials, Unicharm feels that it has a responsibility in this regard. With the aim of helping to address the global problem of plastic waste in the oceans, Unicharm supports the "Plastics Smart" campaign organized by the Ministry of the Environment which is being implemented in collaboration with organizations in many different sectors, and is working to reduce plastic usage at every stage of product development from R&D onwards.

CONSTANT SEARCH FOR IMPROVEMENT - RECYCLED PACKAGING

Our packaging was originally paper packaging with a plastic hook and plastic Gimble pin. The plastic hook was first use plastic, and was packed into polybags for transportation. We then moved to a recycled card for our packaging, evolving the design by removing the plastic hook and replacing it with a sewing method (cotton thread) for attaching the header cards to the socks. To hold 3 pairs of socks together we used a paper wrap and a recyclable PU liner for the shipping cartons. This liner was able to protect the products during shipping. Our packaging change resulted in the removal of over 900,000 plastic hooks from circulation annually and we said goodbye to 300,000 polybags and a gazillion gimble pins. While we were happy with these stats, we were not satisfied it was enough. We did find that unfortunately, in the current market, there are no products that are 100% biodegradable in terms of plastic bagging for carton liners or shipping bags – many claim to be Biodegradable but none have been proven to pass the residue tests that can confirm they leave behind no trace elements. Since we don’t know for sure that they cannot be reabsorbed into the food chain, we choose to avoid them in favour of recyclable materials that we know can at least have another life and not cause harm to animals or humans.

The Toucan Active Plus is one of the ECA systems that Centrego has developed and is implemented in many countries. Centrego ECA (Electro Chemical Solution) systems are not carbon zero. However the carbon emissions and environmental impact of adopting and using the systems to generate cleaning and disinfection solutions are extremely small if compared to the production and distribution of synthetic chemicals, and the disposal of the plastic containers and packaging. This study quantifies the potential carbon footprint of the Toucan Active Plus disinfectant solution (according to 1 l of undiluted solution), which includes production, packaging, transport and use stage. Due to electricity consumption during use, the use stage and solution production is central in the carbon footprint profile. This means that use of alternative energy sources, or more energy efficiency, could substantially lower the carbon footprint - hence the future 2030 scenario with more renewable electricity sources.

Certified Carbon Neutral

felix mobile is certified carbon neutral by government-backed initiative, Climate Active. Our phones might look cute and clean but the data centers and network that drive them use electricity that causes carbon emissions. At felix, we buy renewable electricity in Australia to cover the power used in providing our service, and invest in certified carbon offset projects to offset all other emissions. All of this is certified through the Climate Active initiative, a partnership between Australian government and businesses. felix is a business owned by TPG Telecom Limited. Together we have an ongoing focus on the energy efficiency of the mobile network and undertake various initiatives to reduce energy usage such as: - Installing passive fan-cooling systems to keep network equipment cool and reduce our reliance on energy-intensive air conditioners. - The installation of hundreds of energy ‘smart meters’ to better understand and manage energy use. - Working with network partners to install more efficient equipment and using innovative network site design to improve energy performance.

felix partners with MobileMuster to recycle mobile phones

Help your pre-loved mobile phones live on by recycling them through our partner Mobile Muster. Our mobile phones are created from a wide range of materials, including precious materials which are extracted from the earth. Recycling these devices means the materials can then be re-used, so we reduce the need to take more from the earth. Not only that, but recycling mobile phones reduces energy usage. When we make new products out of unused materials, we use energy to extract and process materials which in return burns more fossil fuels . Lastly, recycling pre-loved mobile phones also reduces pollution. Overall, it improves air quality by reducing the need for power used in the mining, refining, processing, and shipping of raw materials and through this process, we avoid potentially hazardous materials from entering our environment. We're proud to be partnering with Mobile Muster to help you recycle your pre-loved and old mobile phones in just a few easy steps! Learn more here: https://felixmobile.com.au/purpose/mobile-muster

Reduce: More people buying less for a bigger impact

We challenge the cleaning industry norms that insist we need a cupboard-full of unnecessary products to effectively clean your home. Koh cleaning solutions are truly universal, doing the job of many so you can do more, with less. Other cleaning brands don’t want you to know that buying less is the very best we can do to protect our planet.

12

Reuse: Averting single use bottles away from landfill

Our cleaning systems are designed to be reused over and over again. We spend time developing top quality, professional grade tools that stand the test of time. This means you’re saving single-use plastic tools, or poor quality reusable tools from heading to landfill and polluting our environment.

12

Recycling: Using award winning solutions to give products a life strategy

We want to make sure our products have a considered end of life strategy that is accessible so absolutely everyone can dispose of our packaging responsibly (that’s right - no complicated and cumbersome packaging returns program here). Our packaging is proudly designed to use less plastic than traditional cleaning products and our refill pouches use innovative Roll’n’Recycle technology to make them 100% kerbside recyclable in Australia (it’s so clever we’ve won awards!).

Transition to Refillable Containers

Koh has transitioned its entire product line to refillable containers, significantly reducing plastic waste and supporting sustainable usage patterns.

Health & Safety of the Users

Adhesives and sealants are the least visible part of the construction process, yet it can make a huge difference to our health and safety. The majority of polyurethane adhesives and sealants in the market contain Isocyanate – a toxic curing agent, which can negatively affect our health. Adhesives and sealants, containing Isocyanates, continuously diffuse toxic gas even years after the products have been used in the building process. As a result, they can dramatically worsen the indoor air quality and cause various health conditions, such as asthma, skin irritations and respiratory health disorders.

Promoting ocean literacy

Ocean literacy is defined as “an understanding of the ocean's influence on you and your influence on the ocean”. Our ocean is facing a triple threat of climate change, overfishing and pollution. Ocean literacy ensures that our future leaders and shoppers are equipped with the knowledge to continue the fight to protect our ocean. A key objective of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development is to boost ocean literacy in the formal education sector. The aim is to create a new generation of ocean leaders by 2030. The MSC has a vision of our ocean teeming with life for this and future generations. Therefore, the MSC provides teachers with free-to-use teaching and learning resources aligned to their curriculum. By working with partners such as zoos, aquaria and museums, we're providing free teacher workshops to equip teachers with the confidence to advance ocean literacy. Visit msc.org/saltwaterschools
