Sustainability

Responsibility and community

We’re focused on doing the right thing by our customers & communities, every single day.

Our commitment to responsibility

Our brands, products and hotels all play a role in bringing people together.

From our vineyards to our bottling facilities, from our retail stores to our hotels and support offices and everywhere in between, our people are focused on creating a more sociable future responsibly.

We are committed to maintaining our position as an industry leader in the responsible service of alcohol and gambling.

Responsible service of gambling

We work to provide a safe and supportive environment at all of our hotels so our customers are empowered to make informed decisions about gambling, and are provided with timely and appropriate assistance and information.

Responsible service of alcohol

As part of living our purpose, we’re committed to leading with responsibility by advocating for responsible choices in the products and services provided, and the manner in which they are provided, consumed and enjoyed.

Community

Our business is made up of thousands of local stores and hotels, passionate about employing local people, contributing to local economies, and bringing the locals together in communities across the country. We believe connected, social communities are thriving ones. That’s why we do what we can to be there for each other and always offer a hand in good times and bad.

This year, we continued to support our long-term partners, as well as contributing to a range of new initiatives and charitable organisations through our products, brands, stores and hotels.

Darwin Community Advisory Committee

To make a meaningful difference to the communities we engage with, we know we need to first listen and learn. Our first community led sustainability plan – a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) – has now been established in Darwin.

The CAC is a locally-based panel of community leaders, selected to ensure diverse representation, reflective of the community it represents, and contribute a range of lived experience and professional expertise. Their collective experience spans research, health services, social services, policing and licensing, with the common thread of leadership and advocacy in strengthening and connecting communities.

The CAC will explore initiatives that seek to reduce harm from the misuse of alcohol or problem gambling in the local area, connecting with a range of local experts and community groups to investigate and evaluate potential collaborations, partnerships and programs. Their recommendations will help direct our community investment into effective programs that will make the greatest positive impact in that community.
