Expanded sustainability claims

Bondi Sands has published sustainability claims on its website about packaging, reef-friendly sunscreens, reducing its carbon footprint, and community support. These are company statements, so they show what the brand says it is working on, but they do not by themselves prove results. The claims suggest the brand has tried to connect its products with environmental and social goals, especially around sun care and packaging.

Joined Kao in 2023

In 2023, Kao announced it would acquire Bondi Sands. The release said Bondi Sands had built its business with a focus on quality, affordability, inclusive products, and sustainability. It also said Kao wanted to use Bondi Sands’ skin-protection business to grow its global portfolio. This is a business change, but it matters for sustainability because it can affect how the brand handles product design, sourcing, and reporting going forward.

Uses recycling label membership

Kao USA, which sits in the ownership chain for Bondi Sands, is listed as a member of How2Recycle, a voluntary label system that tells shoppers how to recycle packaging. That does not mean every Bondi Sands pack is fully recyclable, but it does show a packaging-related step toward clearer disposal guidance. The same source also says Kao Australia received a packaging performance level of 2, or 'Good Progress,' in APCO’s annual reporting system.

Cruelty-free assurance

Shop Ethical says Bondi Sands has either signed PETA’s statement of assurance or given a statement saying it does not conduct or commission animal tests. PETA is an animal-rights group, and this kind of assurance is used to support cruelty-free claims. This is a positive sign for animal testing policy, although it does not cover every other part of the brand’s supply chain or environmental impact.
