About Winc

Winc is an Australian workplace solutions provider helping organisations create more sustainable environments to work, learn and operate. Through its extensive range of workplace products and services, Winc supports businesses, schools and other organisations with everything from stationery, paper and furniture to cleaning, hygiene, technology and print solutions. Sustainability is integrated into its procurement, product selection, packaging and operational practices.

Winc helps customers make more informed sustainable purchasing decisions through its EarthSaver classification, which identifies products meeting Winc's environmentally preferable product criteria. These include products containing recycled content, products meeting selected third-party environmental standards and certifications, and products incorporating rapidly renewable materials. Its sustainable range spans paper, stationery, toner cartridges, cleaning products, kitchen supplies, furniture and other workplace essentials.

The company's sustainability work also extends across packaging, waste management and resource efficiency. Winc is a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation and has commitments to improve the sustainability of its own-brand packaging, reduce waste and increase recycling, optimise the use of cardboard in deliveries, and help customers transition away from single-use plastics. It is also working to improve delivery efficiency by optimising routes, consolidating orders and reducing unnecessary packaging and transport impacts.

Winc's circular economy initiatives include recycling programs for products such as ink and toner cartridges, while its sustainable procurement approach encourages the use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials. Winc is also an FSC and PEFC promotional license holder and promotes certified paper products to help customers make more responsible forestry and purchasing choices.

Beyond environmental sustainability, Winc's Social Agenda encompasses six areas: safe work practices, First Nations peoples' support and empowerment, climate change, responsible packaging and waste management, gender equality, and ethical sourcing. The company also maintains an ethical sourcing policy covering its supply chain and reports progress against its sustainability commitments.

Through sustainable procurement, responsible sourcing, waste reduction, packaging innovation and climate-focused operational improvements, Winc demonstrates how everyday workplace purchasing can contribute to broader environmental and social sustainability outcomes.
