Wild Earth

Wild Earth is a destination where the passion for outdoor pursuits begins. As Australia's #1 store for outdoor technical gear, we offer a range of gear for hiking, camping, climbing, running, bikepacking and more!


Our commitment

As an outdoor retail brand, we are passionate about our natural environment and we understand the importance of enjoying the outdoors and protecting it. Within our business practices, we use sustainable packing materials and our head office, Burleigh Heads shop and distribution centre is 60% solar-powered. We work with brands that align with our sustainability values and we have the goal to increase our sustainable product offering by at least 10% on the previous year. We are also currently on our journey in our B-Corp application as we wish to align with the corporation's values and standards.

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.)?

    At Wild Earth, we understand that the operation of our business contributes to the human race's carbon footprint as a whole, which is why we want to do something about it. Following a lengthy review process, in early 2023 we began offsetting the Scope 1, and Scope 2 carbon emissions created by every order, for every customer. It's important to us that we offset the carbon footprint of every order, and that we support accredited carbon offsetting projects, but also that we give our customers the freedom to choose the projects that are most important to them. When you shop with us, we'll give you the opportunity to choose from 4 different carbon offsetting projects that have been verified with Tasman Environmental Markets. We have made a deliberate choice to use the most environmentally friendly packaging currently available for our orders. This packaging is made up of 80% recycled materials and meets the Global Recycle Standard to minimise the impact on our environment. Our distribution centre, Burleigh Heads retail store and head office are powered by over 100 solar panels. These contribute to 60% of our power usage and reduce our carbon emissions by an average of 14 tons per year.

  • Do you partner with ethical factories that meet international labor standards? What processes have you implemented to make your supply chain more sustainable?

    We work with key suppliers to increase our sustainable product offering to include products made from recycled or recyclable materials or from natural fibres (e.g. Merino wool, organic cotton). We have created a product filter for our sustainable product offering called 'Eco-Friendly'.

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

    We ensure to make a positive contribution to our local community through financial and in-kind donations to charities. We also are closely involved with the Gurindji Aboriginal Corporation and this year, 7 staff from Wild Earth volunteered for 6 days at the Gurindji Freedom Day Festival and we worked with key suppliers to provide the tent city for the elders.
