The organisation mentioned that it recognises the environmental impact it has across the value chain
and will work with suppliers, service providers and operations to innovate for a healthy planet. It stated
that it will move to a circular economy, source environmentally sustainable commodities and respond

during checkout, along with Coles. It's been reported by the organisation that in the first 3 months
following the ban, Australian's plastic bag use dropped by 80%, leading to 1.5 billion fewer bags going
to landfill. The organisation is also committed to the following other sustainability areas:
