Livingstone International Sustainability Actions

ISO 14001 environmental system

Livingstone says its environmental management practices are certified to ISO 14001, an international standard for managing environmental impact. This means the company says it has a formal system for tracking, reviewing, and improving how it handles environmental issues across its operations. The page links this to offices, warehouses, and supply chain activity, with the aim of reducing waste, improving efficiency, and lowering emissions.

Rooftop solar installed

The company says it has installed 100 kW rooftop solar systems at its Turella and Victorian warehouses. These systems generate renewable electricity on site and are meant to cut the amount of grid power the business uses. Livingstone says the solar setup helps lower operational emissions and improve energy efficiency during day-to-day warehouse work.

Packaging work through APCO

Livingstone says it is a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), a group that works on better packaging and recycling in Australia. Through that membership, it says it is improving packaging design, reducing unnecessary packaging, and using Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) guidance so customers can dispose of packaging correctly. The company links this work to a more circular economy, which means keeping materials in use for longer and reducing waste.

Third-party product checks

Livingstone says all products go through third-party quality testing before shipment. It also says medical products are ARTG certified, meaning they are listed with Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration, and food-related products are HACCP certified, meaning they follow a food safety system that looks for hazards and controls them. The company also says it is an Accredited Australian Trusted Trader, a government-backed status for secure and compliant trade.

Sedex membership for sourcing

Livingstone says it is a member of Sedex, a platform used to share information about labour standards and supply chain practices. The company says this supports ethical sourcing, responsible labour practices, and better working conditions across its global supply chain. It also says suppliers are expected to align with its values, although the page does not give detailed public audit results.

Workplace inclusion measures

The company says it has a Domestic Violence Support Initiative for employees and that it aims to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive workplace. It also says it promotes equal access to development, inclusive leadership, and respect across its operations and supply chain. These are internal people-focused actions rather than product changes, but they are part of its ESG approach.

Endorsed Reconciliation Action Plan

Livingstone says it has an endorsed Reconciliation Action Plan, often called a RAP, which is a formal plan used in Australia to guide action on reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The company says the plan supports ongoing learning, collaboration, and accountability, and that it is preparing an Innovate RAP for submission to Reconciliation Australia.
