At Fresh St Market IGA Atherton, values and sustainability guide the way we run our store every day. We believe people come first, which is why we’ve chosen not to install self-service checkouts and instead invest in local jobs and personal service at the registers. Our commitment extends beyond the checkout: we prioritise local and responsibly sourced products, care for our team and look for ways to reduce our environmental footprint. From food rescue and community programs to ongoing energy upgrades, we’re always working to do better for our customers, our people and our community.
We prioritise sourcing products from suppliers who adhere to ethical and sustainable practices. Our partnerships with local farmers and producers ensure fair wages, environmentally friendly farming methods, and support for communities.
We actively engage with the community we serve through various initiatives, including food donation programs, career expos, nutritional education like the IGA Kitchen Garden program (adopted by Jubilee Christian College) and more. Investing in our community, allows us to make a positive impact beyond our store walls.
We commit to a range of sustainable practices and initiatives, including but not limited to: replacing Styrofoam meat trays with recyclable trays, made from recycled plastic; installing an EcoBat battery recycling bin, recycling all cardboard waste, partnering with local farmers to repurpose fruit and vegetable waste as livestock feed and more.
We minimise environmental footprint through energy-efficient upgrades, eco-friendly packaging, and comprehensive recycling initiatives. Our 2019 refrigeration upgrade alone saves 100,000 kWh of energy per year, equivalent to planting over 30 hectares of carbon-absorbing avocado trees!
We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive work environment for our employees. This includes providing fair wages, offering opportunities for career development and advancement, and fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Integrity is at the core of our business operations. We uphold ethical standards in all our dealings, from supplier relationships to customer interactions. Transparency and accountability are key principles that guide our decision-making processes.
We are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our social responsibility efforts. This involves listening to feedback from stakeholders, conducting regular assessments of our practices, and striving for innovation in sustainability and community engagement.
At Fresh St Market IGA, we take our commitment to social responsibility seriously and strive to integrate these values into every aspect of our business. Our dedication to social responsibility is reflected in our actions, decisions, and organisational culture
