Our future depends on the decisions we make today; for the planet, our people, and for our communities. In committing to making good things happen, we centre environmental, social and corporate governance policies – integrating the cutting edge practices that drive sustainable and ethical business outcomes.

People

We believe a healthy workspace is one that fosters diversity, creativity, autonomy and inclusivity. Upholding human rights, fair industrial relations and employment conditions is fundamental to our business, as is adherence to the Modern Slavery Act, and an extensive supplier audit, ensuring that all collaborators align with our operational values, and internationally recognised standards of practice.

Planet

Sustainability is key to our operation. In the current climate, there is no excuse to overlook the impacts that we as a business may have on the environment. We’re proud to incorporate circular economy practices within our supplier network, and the four walls of our business. We are passionate about delivering solutions that deliver value to our customers, while positively supporting our planet.

Community

Giving back is key to our conscience. This belief is upheld via a wide array of community commitments including; volunteering and corporate sponsorship opportunities and a robust student work-experience program. We recognise the responsibility that our organisation has in taking proactive steps towards national reconciliation, and are committed to delivering genuine value to First Nations communities via our adoption of the Reconciliation Action Plan principals.


Ethical sourcing

We source domestically and internationally using a pre-qualified, accredited panel of suppliers. Each supplier adheres to the rigours of our Ethical Supply Chain Policy (2013), ensuring all products are tested for quality, safety, ethical practice and adherence to Federal and State legislations. Our adherence to the 2018 Modern Slavery Act and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ensures that individual rights are upheld within all supply exchanges – child and forced labor have no place within our supply chain. 

Finally, we guarantee that all promotional merchandise provided through our partnership will be free from BPA, Phthalates, and any other contaminants deemed a health or occupational risk by Federal, State, or associated governing bodies.


Sustainable solutions

We take great pride in our unwavering commitment to providing sustainable customer solutions. From sourcing eco-conscious print materials, to researching, developing, and delivering recycled plastic alternatives for single use medical products, we strive to minimise both ours, and our customers environmental impact. We actively collaborate with international suppliers who hold FSC Chain of custody certification (FSC©) and/or the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™) for sustainably sourced and manufactured papers, and only engage with suppliers that have implemented (or are in the process of implementing) environmental management systems that meet international standards. For non-fibre materials, we ensure that consideration is given to attributes such as compostability, biodegradability or recyclability, and this requirement is regularly audited. In considering environmental factors when sourcing products, we focus on using certified forest fibre and alternative renewable energy sources, reducing chemical and water use wherever possible, and choosing products that contain recycled content.


Reconciliation

It is with great privilege and respect that we have embarked on our Reconciliation journey in consultation with Reconciliation Australia. Our dedication to prioritising cultural understanding, growth, and connection, to promote a diverse and united future, reflects this. Buckner Brand Management acknowledges and respects the cultural heritage and beliefs of First Nations Peoples across Australia and recognise the importance of learning from their wisdom and connection to this great land. Our Reflect RAP has been designed to include meaningful activities that promote reconciliation through anti-discrimination strategies, increased understanding and recognition of First Nations cultures, and direct support of the economic and social outcomes for First Nations communities and organisations.

The Circular Economy

As a business with a large focus on manufacturing and provision of physical products, we are committed to embracing a circular economy approach. In our operations, this approach is most prominent in the case of recommending and selecting products that have completed multiple lifecycles, can be repurposed or disposed of considerately, or empower opportunity for lessened use of wasteful resources. These choices allow Buckner Brand Management to contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing our overall footprint and fostering a more resource-efficient economy.

Community engagement

In our effort to make good things happen, we actively contribute to our local communities by supporting social enterprise, donating resources, encouraging volunteering efforts, and hosting fundraising activities to benefit charities and not for profits. We prioritise the delivery of opportunities to small, local, minority-owned, and female-owned businesses wherever possible, and regularly outsource elements of our operational requirements to charitable organisations to create employment opportunities.
