Releaseit

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.)?

  Here at Releaseit, we are passionate about doing our part to reduce our emissions. That’s why we have partnered with Carbon Neutral, the longest-standing carbon offset provider in Australia. In the last year, we have been active participants in their Plant-a-Tree program and donated 800 native trees and shrubs to assist in the restoration of the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor. As a sustainable start-up, it was also important for us to choose a workspace that can help us reach our emissions reduction goals. That’s why we chose to move into Workit Co-Working Spaces. How do they help our business reduce emissions? Through high-quality carbon offset schemes, renewable energy and energy-saving lighting, water-wise taps, and composting facilities on site!

• Community Initiatives

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

  We partner with Carbon Neutral and are active participants in their Plant-a-Tree program, contributing to the restoration of the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity project.

• 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 Releaseit, we are passionate about creating an inclusive work environment and are committed to diversity and equity. We are an equal opportunity workplace and consider all qualified candidates for our open roles regardless of age, gender, race, colour, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, family, or carer’s responsibilities. We are proud to be an extremely multicultural workplace and enjoy celebrating our diversity. We are also on a wider mission to give Australians access to the latest and greatest brands for a fraction of the cost of ownership through our circular model and pioneer the principle of reducing, reusing, and recycling where we can.

• Circular Models

  How does your circular model or circular initiative work?

  We are on a mission to call out consumers who are constantly buying, using, disposing and feeding into a linear economy. We are moving away from this outdated way of doing things by replacing it with a circular economy, where we all buy less and borrow more. Think of Releaseit like the eBay of rentals. To get access to the best range of rental items, you can either rent stuff from members of your community (peers, neighbours, local businesses etc.) or from existing rental businesses. If you rent from members of your community, the rental agreement will happen on the Releaseit platform (choose your dates, message the owner and pay). If you click on a product and are redirected to another website, this means you're renting an item from a trusted rental business. Your lease will be organised through this rental company and will follow their terms and conditions. The simple version: Rent stuff. Rent out your stuff. Earn money. Have fun. Protect the planet.
