Welcome to 'Working together to create a better tomorrow', the Woolworths Group Sustainability Plan 2025.
If there is one word that sums up our Sustainability Plan 2025, it's 'better'.
Better for our team members, our partners, our customers and our suppliers.
Better for the planet that we call home. And better in finding the most ethical ways to do business.
We've been on our sustainability journey for many years now, and the results of our actions are starting to show.
In areas where we've fallen short, we are learning from those experiences and working hard to improve them, because we have more responsibility than ever to get it right.
Our customers want positive change and they are counting on us to make it happen, from eliminating waste to reducing the plastic packaging that pollutes our oceans.
In short, we're all looking to do the right thing.
Our Sustainability Plan 2025 is ambitious, but we're confident we can achieve our goals if we all get on board and lift the bar together.
That's what we mean by working together to create a better tomorrow, and tomorrow starts now.

UN 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
17 global goals set by the United Nations in 2015, the SDGs define global sustainable development priorities and aspirations for the planet. They seek to mobilise global efforts around a common set of goals and targets. We believe that the business community has a role to play in progressing these important issues, and we have aligned our goals with the relevant SDGs.
