Help make Woolworths accountable for protecting nature

Food companies need to be held to account for cooking up a disaster for the natural world.

Fortunately, we've got a recipe for repair: restore land, rivers and forests so our wildlife, farms and communities thrive.

Woolworths came 7th out of the 20 food companies we benchmarked.

What they’re doing well: Woolworths has demonstrated partnership with agricultural suppliers on target setting and delivery, and on helping some suppliers build sustainable capabilities.  

What they’re lagging on: Woolworths has not evidenced any action towards tracing its agricultural value chain or assessing nature risks.

By speaking out today, you will help farmers under pressure to push nature to the limit. And it's already in crisis!

Food companies can change this. They have relationships with their suppliers that they leverage daily to meet requirements for quality, taste and aesthetics for the food they sell.

In the same way, they must now turn their attentions to ensuring their ingredients and fresh produce are farmed in a sustainable way.

Just as the supermarkets reject products that are cosmetically the wrong shape, it's time they reject deforestation and other practices that harm nature. It's not fit for Australia.
