Earth Greetings
Earth Greetings are Australia's original earth-friendly card and gift brand.
Our commitment
Earth Greetings was founded nearly 20 years ago on a love of nature, and a vision for a better way to live and work; to tread lightly on the planet and give back generously to restore the wild places we love. Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of our purpose, to inspire feel-good giving whilst contributing to a brighter future for wildlife and our planet. Some of the ways we achieve our purpose include: - Donating over 10% of profit to organisations helping wildlife and habitat - Every order grows a tree, through our partnership with Trees For Life - Manufacturing locally wherever possible, to reduce transportation emissions - Choosing only 100% post-consumer waste for our paper products - Ensure our products are recyclable or compostable, with zero plastic packaging - We ensure all of our products are vegan and non-toxic - Operating on solar power - We are a carbon neutral business and so are all of our products.
Our Sustainability Framework
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.)?
Treading lightly on the Earth is at the heart of Our Purpose. Key to our achieving this is our annual audit with Carbon Neutral. They measure and audit our waste, recycling, water use, energy (we run on solar) and include greenhouse gas emissions used in creating all materials and products we produce. We purchase offsets through our donation to the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor, restoring habitat for wildlife in once degraded land. Our core product lines are made from paper, and we only choose 100% post-consumer waste which holds key environmental certifications. Our printer, Finsbury Green, is carbon neutral and central to our supply chain. They use the latest VOC free ink technology and hold ISO14001 certification. Our fabric lines are made from Certified Organic Cotton, and printed in Australia with water based ink. To give back to our planet, we donate at least 10% of profit to organisations helping wildlife and habitat restoration. Every order grows a tree, through our partnership with Trees For Life. Since 2008, we have directly enabled Trees For Life to plant over 50,000 trees.

Our core product lines are made from paper. Paper-making has a history of causing habitat loss, climate change and water contamination. It's integral to our business model to only choose paper that treads lightly on the earth. We choose 100% post-consumer waste for all of our paper products including greeting cards, wrapping paper and stationery. We ensure the paper we choose is not chlorine bleached, made by environmentally certified mills (EMS, ISO 14001 or EMAS) that recycle or capture waste before it enters the environment. Our printer, Finsbury Green operates world’s best practice ISO9001 Quality Management, ISO14001 Environmental Management Certification and use the latest VOC free ink technology to print our products. Our fabric lines are made from GOTS Certiified Organic, or Australian Certified Organic cotton, and printed in Australia with water based ink. We ensure all of our products and printing is vegan. No animal derivatives are used in any of our products. Our products come naked, with no plastic packaging whatsoever. Orders are sent boxed or wrapped in paper or cardboard, and water activated tape is used to seal cartons which are fully recyclable after use.

To contribute toward a brighter future for wildlife and our planet, Earth Greetings donate over 10% of all profit to organisations caring for wildlife and habitat. Key Partners in Purpose: Earth Greetings have an ongoing partnership with Trees for Life. We donate the cost of growing a native tree seedling for every order placed. Since 2008 we have directly enabled Trees For Life to plant over 50,000 native tree seedlings. Earth Greetings donate 5% of all sales Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Centre in September during Save the Koala Month, to help sick and injured koalas receive treatment so that they can return to the wild. Animal Rescue Cooperative ARC teams support immediate fire and disaster response to help animals. Earth Greetings have sponsored an ARC fire trailer, to help bring water to fire prone areas faster in the 2020 bushfire season. Over the 2022 Financial Year, we donated over $33,000 to charity with a focus on supporting organisations over the difficult bushfire recovery period. Donations of Goods We have partnered with Good360 to donate excess stock that is still in good condition.
