Our Plan For Today to Help Our Tomorrow

Jurlique harnesses the power of nature to create incredibly effective products. In return, we’re committed to sustainable practices and nourishing the earth. By 2015, we plan to further reduce energy and water consumption by 20% and decrease the amount of waste to landfill by 20%.

As we head into the future, we are:
  • Striving for more than 95% of natural ingredients in our products.
  • Signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant to show our commitment to continually decreasing the environmental impact of all of our packaging, including:
    • Maximising the recycled and sustainably sourced content of our cardboard
    • Improving recyclability of the entire packaging range, currently at more than 95%
    • See more details about our packaging goals by downloading the Jurlique APC Action Plan.
  • Remaining focused on the maintenance of our re-vegetation project on our National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia (NASAA) Certified Organic and Biodynamic farm, in order to gather carbon, protect and cultivate our powerful herbs and nurture our wildlife.
