Building a
Sustainable Future
Creating harmony with people and nature for more than 125 years, we understand our fingerprints are on the future. Our long-held commitment of Growing for Good, means our success helps to build a sustainable future for our people and the world around us, and ensures the freedom to give back to society.
We have created a new local sustainability strategy to align with the launch of our new multi-beverage business in Oceania, setting out a clearly defined roadmap to deliver on our commitments.
Suntory Group’s sustainability strategy guides us in amplifying our impact across all geographies.
In Oceania, our strategic pillars of Nature, Consumer and Community encourage us to think boldly, collaborating inside and outside our organisation to identify solutions to meet our ambitious goals.
We’re determined to protect our environment, empower our consumers to make responsible choices, and to foster inclusivity and equity through our workplace and value chain.
Nature
Sustained by nature and water, we value and protect the natural resources around us. Across our operations, we are focused on minimising our impact on the environment by reducing our water, climate and packaging footprints and improving the ecosystems where we operate.
Consumer
We are proud to craft drinks that bring joy to consumers, generation after generation. As industry leaders, we champion responsibility and moderation by providing information, offering a variety of choices, and making clear commitments.
Community
Giving back to society has been central to Suntory’s philosophy since its foundation. We’re dedicated to making a positive impact in our local communities and fostering a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable culture within our business.
Setting the standard with our Swanbank facility
As the largest FMCG investment in Australia in the last decade, our +$400M Swanbank ‘smart’ facility in Ipswich, Queensland is carbon neutral by using a combination of renewable energy, efficient technologies and a power-purchase agreement.
Features include:
- An agreement with Queensland’s Cleanco to produce over 11 GWH of energy.
- 14 kilometres of solar panels, powering the production of more than 20 million cases of beverages per year.
- A biomass boiler that uses offcuts from a local sawmill as fuel to generate the heat needed for manufacturing.
- An organic Rankine cycle generator, which is a new technology designed to capture waste heat and turn it into green energy that can be fed back to the grid.
- Highly water efficient operations.
- Targeting zero landfill delivered onsite.
We are proud to be a leading example of sustainability within our industry.
