ABC Tissues (brands incl; Quilton, Naturale, Symphony, Earthcare) Sustainability Actions

Uses certified forest fibre

ABC Tissue says it uses wood fibre approved by the two largest forest certification systems, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council, a system for responsible forest management) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, another forest certification scheme). The company presents this as a way to support responsible timber sourcing and help protect forests for the future. This is an existing sourcing practice, not a future target.

Runs a recycling plant

The company says it operates its own paper recycling plant in Brisbane. That means it can turn used paper back into fibre for new products instead of relying only on fresh wood pulp. This is a practical step linked to waste reduction and more circular use of materials, where old products are kept in use for longer.

Sells recycled paper products

Independent ethical shopping data says ABC Tissue sells products made from recycled paper, including Naturale and Earthcare items. It also notes that some products are made in Australia and carry FSC Recycled or FSC Mix labels, which show the fibre content has been checked under FSC rules. This points to a product range that includes lower-impact paper options.

Publishes labour policies

ABC Tissue lists a Modern Day Slavery Policy and a Core Labour Requirements Policy on its website. A modern slavery policy is a public statement about how a company tries to reduce the risk of forced labour, debt bondage, and other severe worker abuse in its supply chain. A core labour policy usually sets basic rules on worker rights and conditions. These policies show the company has formal labour-related controls in place.

Supports community causes

The company has made large donations to hospitals, cancer groups, flood relief, and other community causes. Recent examples include support for St Vincent's Hospital Sydney, TOGA, CanRevive, and CARE Australia. These are social impact actions rather than environmental ones, but they are part of the company’s wider ESG profile because they show community giving.
