Our impact on the environment
As one of the largest food companies in Asia Pacific, Arnott's has an environmental policy in place that reflects its commitment to conduct business in a manner that respects and protects the quality of the environment, striving towards limiting emissions to the water, air and land, and the efficient use of resources.
That's why we work closely with water authorities, like Sydney Water, to identify opportunities for reducing water consumption. Our Arnott's Marleston bakery has also made significant progress reducing waste and water consumption by installing, among other things, a $390,000 waste-water treatment plant.
As well as helping to protect water, Arnott’s is also focused on reducing its energy consumption and has a number of programs in place at all sites.
The Company is a signatory to the National Packaging Covenant. Our action plans contain specific objectives to minimise the use of packaging material, where possible; use recyclable materials, where possible; and ensure the environmental impacts of consumer packaging waste are managed and minimised.
In the past five years Arnott's has:
- Moved 1,000 tonnes of plastic packaging each year from non-recyclable polystyrene to recyclable PET
- Ensured 5,000 tonnes of carton board now contains 95% recycled content
- Introduced packaging recycling and disposal information labelling on packaging
- Eliminated 130 tonnes of plastic packaging each year
- Eliminated 12 tonnes of steel packaging each year
- Eliminated 600 tonnes of cardboard packaging each year
- Reduced pallets by 27,000, while transporting the same number of finished goods.
