Our Sustainability Framework

• Emissions & Key Environmental Issues

  What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?

  Eco-Friendly Alternatives: Our wooden flowers are designed as an environmentally responsible alternative to both plastic artificial flowers and traditional cut flowers. By choosing our hand-painted wooden blooms, you're making a sustainable choice that lasts longer and minimizes waste. Plastic-Free Production: We take pride in ensuring that no plastic is used anywhere in our production process. From the materials we use to the packaging we provide, we're dedicated to being entirely plastic-free. Repurposing Salvaged Branches: We go the extra mile by repurposing salvaged branches into vases. This not only reduces waste but also adds a unique, natural touch to our products. Sustainable Sourcing: Our wooden flowers are crafted from FSC certified Australian-made plywood, sourced from responsibly managed forests. We're committed to minimizing our impact on deforestation and habitat destruction. Carbon-Neutral Practices: We continually strive to make our production process more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, thus reducing our carbon footprint.

• Materials

  How are the products your company offers made from environmentally friendly materials (e.g. recycled, organic materials)?

  FSC Certified Australian-Made Plywood: Our wooden flowers are crafted from FSC certified Australian-made plywood, ensuring that our materials come from responsibly managed forests. What's more, our plywood is rated E0 for formaldehyde, meeting the highest eco-standards.

• Community Initiatives

  How does your company give back to the community (e.g. financial donations, volunteering, partnerships etc.)?

  At Branch and Bloom, we're passionate about nurturing creativity, not just in our products but also in the hearts of the local community's children. We're excited to collaborate with several local preschools, offering workshops that use our less-than-perfect flowers. These workshops serve a dual purpose - they prevent any wastage of our beautiful blooms, even if they don't meet our strict quality standards, and they become a canvas for little hands to explore their imagination. It's a win-win situation, where creativity blossoms alongside the blooms. We believe in inspiring the next generation to appreciate art, nature, and the value of sustainability. Together, we're sowing the seeds of creativity and environmental consciousness in our local community.

• Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

  How has your company made a commitment to achieve and maintain inclusion & diversity (e.g. Gender / Race / Ethnicity / National Origin / Sexual Orientation / Religion / Disability / Age)?

  At Branch and Bloom, our dedication to inclusion and diversity is unwavering. We prioritize equal opportunities, ensuring all hiring and promotions are based on merit, free from bias. Our team is a diverse mosaic, representing various backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives, enriching our creativity and decision-making. We've cultivated an inclusive culture where every voice is valued, fostering open discussions and respect for diverse viewpoints. Regular training on diversity and inclusion educates our team on their significance, promoting an inclusive atmosphere. Beyond our company, we actively engage in community initiatives that support diversity, equity, and inclusion in our local area. A non-discrimination policy comprehensively covers all aspects of diversity, safeguarding our team members against discrimination. Our commitment to inclusion and diversity is a continuous journey, strengthening our brand, enabling better service to our customers and community. We persistently work to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their background, identity, or perspective.
