EARTHFOOD RESPONSIBILITY AND SOCIAL POLICY

Earthfood is Australia's leading online store and international supplier of microbial soil rejuvenators and plant enhancers. We operate with integrity and hold both ourselves and our suppliers to high standards. Everything we make is safe for people, animals, and the planet.

Our products are honestly labelled and meet Australian Manufacturing Standards. They are internationally accredited as 100% Certified Organic and carry an International Harmony Code for export. They are also free from GMOs, neurotoxic chemicals and mined ingredients at every stage of production.

EMBRACING SCIENCE AND NATURE

Healthy soil is the foundation of healthy food, healthy ecosystems, and a healthy planet. When soil loses its living microbes, the effects ripple outward, affecting waterways, reefs, wildlife habitats, and vegetation of all kinds.

We believe restoring microbial life to the soil, backyard by backyard and farm by farm, can make a real and lasting difference. It starts with each of us, right now.

OUR PACKAGING POLICY

Our packaging is designed to minimise waste. We use biodegradable materials wherever possible, and any plastics we use are fully recyclable and blown in Australia. These plastics are the kind used in park benches and roadways, so please take used packaging to your local recycling centre. Better still, send them back to us and we will reward you for it.



EARTHFOOD CUSTOMER RECYCLING PROGRAM

We take a lifecycle approach to our products and packaging, and we are committed to reducing landfill waste. We invite you to be part of that effort.

Return your empty bottles in bundles of four and receive 10% off your next purchase.

REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

We constantly review our full supply chain and take a lifecycle approach to how our products and packaging impact the environment. We work to make meaningful improvements at every stage.

 

OUR OPERATIONS

All electricity at our facility is powered by solar and battery storage. We use LED lighting and continually replace older, less efficient equipment. Our corn starch plastic bags, recycled bottles and caps, vegetable dye labels, and recycled cardboard boxes all reflect our ethos.

Our farm produces all products using 100% certified organic methods. Microbial waste is used in community garden centres or spread over farmland to restore soil health. We work to a model of: recycle, upcycle, restore, and reuse every day.

Our team are passionate advocates for regenerative and urban farming, from indoor gardens and potted plants to large-scale acreage.


OUR PRODUCTS

We source paper products from 100% recycled content or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified suppliers. All website orders are packed in 100% recycled content boxes, produced in Australia wherever possible.


RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Earthfood is committed to responsible sourcing across our products, packaging, and services. Our Responsible Sourcing Charter focuses on three areas:

  1. Sourcing microbial food ingredients responsibly

  2. Sourcing goods and services ethically

  3. Reducing environmental impact

Suppliers are assessed for risk and must demonstrate compliance with our Ethical Sourcing Policy. We do not source from operations linked to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, or practices that damage communities or ecosystems.

 

OUR RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS POLICIES

1. Business Integrity All suppliers must operate ethically, maintain transparent documentation, and ensure no forced labour exists anywhere in their supply chain. Harsh, prejudicial, or discriminatory treatment of workers is not acceptable.

2. Minimum Requirements All suppliers must comply fully with local laws on labour, health, safety, and the environment, as well as all elements of our Ethical Sourcing Policy.

3. No Discrimination We do not discriminate in hiring, compensation, training, promotion, or any other aspect of employment based on race, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, union membership, or political affiliation. 

4. Respect for Land Rights Earthfood respects the rights of all landowners and farmers in Australia and globally. We encourage all land occupants to care for the earth and to restore what has been depleted.

5. No Animal Testing We do not conduct or commission animal testing on any ingredients, formulations, or finished products, and we will not do so in the future.
