The Importance of CSR at Qualmac
Ensuring being a results-driven organisation doesn’t only mean caring for your bottom line has always been a key principle of the Qualmac value hierarchy. Committing to operating responsibly is more important to us than any other aspect of our organisation. In fact, we are continuing to improve and develop our systems to guarantee we are benefiting our staff, our customers and the environment more than ever. As with anything in business and life actions speak louder than words. So we have listed a few key ways we are taking our role on the planet seriously.
We understand CSR will always be a work in process, but at Qualmac we are committed to working hard on ensuring our customers can rely on us to be the most dedicated CSR driven supply chain in the market. We are proud of our supply chains and our manufacturing choices!
In 2018 Qualmac joined Amfori.
Amfori is the leading global business association for open and sustainable trade. They empower 2,400 companies to operate as successful, sustainable businesses by helping them monitor and improve the social and environmental performance of their supply chain. Amfori also engage locally and globally to promote a policy environment that enables companies to operate efficiently and responsibly. Amfori’s mission is to enable each of it’s members to enhance human prosperity, use natural resources responsibly and drive open trade globally. It is not enough just to deliver good products, with a good quality, a good price and a good availability, it should be done in a way that does not harm people or the environment. Working with Amfori, we understand this challenge and working together we can influence and drive positive.
Our partnership with Foodbank dates back to 2016 when we donated Peanut Butter to the organisation. Since then Qualmac has continued to donate to the organisation in many other states from WA to QLD.
Foodbank is Australia’s largest food relief organisation, operating on a scale that makes it crucial to the work of the front line charities who are feeding vulnerable Australians. Foodbank provides more than 70% of the food rescued for food relief organisations nation-wide.
Through their well established and mutually beneficial partnerships Foodbank is are able to stretch every dollar donated into even more food; nationally on average they are able to turn every $1 donated into the equivalent of $5.80 worth of food to distribute to those in need.
Foodbank captures raw or bulk ingredients which might just be out of spec or surplus, but can be diverted to a charity with cooking facilities, such as a shelter, community kitchen or a dining hall.
With the major supermarkets voluntarily banning single use plastic bags Australia wide now, re-usable retail bags have become an essential item to have while shopping.
Single-use plastic bag consumption in Australia has reduced by over 80% following a ban by supermarkets, with a total of 1.5 billion plastic carry bags have been spared from landfills since the ban started. Every Australian state and territory has now taken action on the nation’s plastic addition by committing to phase out single-use plastic bags.
Qualmac is a key supplier of re-usable retail bags to some of the largest retailers in the Southern Hemisphere and we continue to offer greener, more planet friendly options for our customers, year on year, season on season.
Here at Qualmac, we meticulously inspect our supply chains from start to finish to guarantee we are not involved with or supporting practises which go against our principals, every step of the way.
Now more than ever, customers care not only about the value of products, but also about how those products are produced. Our dedication to responsible sourcing through a close working relationship with our suppliers helps to improve the quality of life of workers in sensitive industries and communities around the world.
By addressing human rights and other critical issues in our supply chain, we have established standards for our suppliers to follow when conducting business with us.
