Hawkins Watts team Australia New Zealand

Sustainability

We aim to improve our business practices from environmental, social, & economic perspectives.

  • Whilst we're not perfect, we are mindful of our actions and are taking steps to reduce our impact in everyday ways including; replacing single use plastics in our lab with reusable tasting glasses, switching to glass liquid sampling jars and metal tasting spoons. 
  • The lab isn't the only place we're making changes we've also switched to biodegradable sample packaging, gloves and rubbish bags. Along with choosing sustainable materials for merchandise and collateral whenever possible.

Responsible sourcing

We are committed to ensuring that all of our supply partners adhere to national and local regulations.

  • We monitor our supply partners and any potential new supply relationships undergoing a rigorous verification process, including assessment questionnaires.
  • Our Supply Partners and many of our key customers also require that we meet their stringent requirements around ESG.
  • As members of SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) we support and implement responsible supply chain management practices as the organisation recommends.
