Importance to Woolworths Group
Many communities we serve face food insecurity, which affects one in three Australian. With food at our core and a retail presence that serves the majority of Australian and New Zealand communities, we have the scale and responsibility to contribute to improving food security. Our inclusive workplace is built on the foundation of listening to and learning from our team. As one of Australia and New Zealand’s largest private employers of First Nations, Māori, and Pasifika team members, working towards reconciliation is vital to our purpose and long-term performance.
Impact of prioritising this area
By leveraging our extensive retail network and partnerships, we can help address food insecurity by converting surplus food into millions of meals for people in need. As a major employer, we can also build inclusive communities by creating meaningful employment and career opportunities for First Nations, Māori and Pasifika people and supporting Indigenous health, education, and sourcing, strengthening both our workforce and community connections.
