Sustenance beyond our bellies

We’re committed to preserving and protecting our environment and supporting our community. If you have an initiative that you think we might be interested in supporting, please contact us at info@undividedfoodco.com

**CLIMATE POSITIVE IN 2023**

We are now a climate positive company, having installed solar panels at our warehouse and increased our annual tree planting in Western Australia to 1500 trees.

**PLASTIC POSITIVE IN 2022**

We’re stoked to end 2022 as a Plastic Positive company as certified by **empower.eco**.
Cleanups are carried out by verified Empower partners in over 40 countries, tackling the plastic waste problem globally. In 2022 we offset 3000kg of plastic (double our usage of 1500kg) in Hamarapur and Kharpada, India.

**COMMUNITY INITIATIVES - ALWAYS!**

We have donated food, time and/or money to many organisations including **Global Care**, **Charlie Teo Foundation**, **OzHarvest**, **Save The Box**, the **Centre 360 Youth and Family Service**, **Two Good Co, Asylum Seekers Centre** and others.
We have hired a number of migrants seeking refuge from the **Asylum Seekers Centre**. Offering employment to new arrivals is a tangible way to help Asylum Seekers settle quickly into the Australian way of life.

**PLASTIC NEUTRAL IN 2021**

Empower is a Norwegian firm that aims to address the global plastic waste problem with digital incentivised waste collection solutions as an alternative solution to the traditional recycling system. Empower promotes putting a value on plastic, creating incentives for people to actively recycle plastic waste.
In 2021 we were certified plastic neutral by **empower.eco**, offsetting our annual usage of 1500kg of plastic.

PLASTIC OFFSET IN 2020

In 2020 we decided we wanted to get involved with an initiative closer to home. We invested in Seabin Project, founded by two ocean loving Australians. Our investment allows continued growth in the manufacture and distribution of Seabin units in Australia and Worldwide. The ‘floating-bin’ is installed in ports and marinas and is streamlining the removal of waste and plastic around the world as well as using education, science, technology and community activation.

The Seabin V5 provides the capacity to collect up to one ton of debris per bin per year. There are currently 860 Seabins worldwide, including those in Australian marinas and ports.

**CARBON NEUTRAL IN 2020**

In January 2020, 400 trees were planted in Bencubbin, WA on our behalf.

Not only do the trees offset our carbon emissions, they help replace the overclearing of trees done in the past. They also have the ongoing benefit of reducing wind speed in the area as well as lowering the water table by reducing salt - two important factors for farmers in Bencubbin. Another positive spinoff is that they make the country more environmentally friendly for native wildlife.
Finally, planting more trees will also help to increase rainfall which is of utmost importance in Australia now!

In 2019 we partnered with **Ocean Recovery Alliance** to reduce our plastic footprint. Using the Plastic Disclosure Project platform, we reported and measured our plastic usage. Based on this data, we then donated the necessary amount of funds annually to Plastic Catch which supported fisherman in Hong Kong, Cambodia, China and other locations to retrieve plastic from the ocean, offsetting our plastic footprint.
