We’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible effort our teams put into this year’s STEPtember challenge! Last month, our people came together with a shared purpose: to make a positive impact on the lives of those living with cerebral palsy. Thanks to our teams across Kmart and Target Australia, we raised an amazing $47,422 and collectively took 495,041,775 steps. We also doubled our dollar matching this year. Together, we will contribute $23,000 to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance by matching donations from our top 40 fundraisers - double last year’s top 20. That’s over $70,000 raised for Cerebral Palsy Alliance programs. We’re especially proud that Kmart and Target ranked number one among all participating organisations in Australia!

As one of Australia’s largest retailers, we’re proud to have partnered with the Queensland Government and RMIT University on this landmark study – which will give industry and government the vital data we need in order to develop evidence-based initiatives that directly and demonstrably reduce the amount of clothing ending up in landfill.
The first-ever nationwide study into how Australians use and dispose of clothing has revealed people are buying too many clothes and are unsure how to discard them responsibly. Conducted by RMIT University and commissioned by Kmart Australia Limited and the Queensland Government, a study of 3,080 Australians explored how they acquired, used and disposed of their clothing. Across all findings, age was the most significant factor in determining consumer clothing practices, surpassing gender, income bracket and location. Young Australians, aged 18–34, were more likely to buy second-hand, repair, resell or share clothes but tended to have large collections of unused clothing that were no longer in style. Older Australians were more likely to donate clothing they no longer wanted, though were less likely to buy second-hand. Lead author RMIT Professor Alice Payne said although Australians buy too many clothes, there are some things we do well. “Compared to European data, Australians are better at shopping second-hand and washing clothes responsibly,” said Payne, Dean of RMIT’s School of Fashion and Textiles. "Brands and retailers must create higher-quality products that endure both fashion trends and wear."

In 2023, we ordered nearly 300,000 uniform units – and we’re committed to ensuring these don’t go to waste. That’s why we’re pleased to have partnered with UPPAREL to keep thousands of these old uniform items out of landfill. ♻️🙌🚮 This new partnership offers a practical solution, allowing our team members in Australian Stores and Distribution Centres to recycle old uniforms and clothing at work from this week – sustainability is an ongoing journey for us, and this is just one small step on that journey.

This past week was one for the history books! For the first time ever, all our Kmart and Target Store Managers came together in the same room for our 2024 Store Managers Conference on the Sunshine Coast. With 450 of retail’s brightest store leaders in one place – it was the perfect opportunity for us to dive into the strategies that are shaping our future, including how we develop our operations, our people, and our customer experience to accelerate forward. It was an immersive three days filled with moments of fun and inspiration - from an incredible First Nations art activity with Bayley Mifsud to a tear-jerking keynote from big wave surf legend Mark Mathews, and plenty of moments for connection and celebration. As we continue on our journey accelerating forward, a heartfelt thanks goes out to all of our incredible Store Managers. Your dedication, leadership and passion are the driving forces behind our success, and with a team like this leading the way - the future looks bright.

We’re proud to be supporting Project Boomerang and the transition to a circular economy. The textile recycling plant in Carole Park, Queensland, will be the first of its kind in Australia and will use automated technology to sort and customise more textiles for recycling ♻️.
‘Project Boomerang funding sets Salvos Stores on course for a circular economy’❤️♻️ The Queensland Government is supporting Circular Economy infrastructure by funding Salvos Stores and The Salvation Army to establish a textile recycling plant in Carole Park, QLD. The plant will sort textiles, remove buttons and zippers, and customise end products for recycling. The plant will be Australia’s first automated textiles sorting and decontamination solution, replicating a plant which is currently in operation in Amsterdam. This initiative aims to reduce textile waste in landfills, promote a circular economy, and raise awareness about clothing waste's environmental impact. Supported by QUT’s feasibility research, the project involves collaborations with Charitable Recycling Australia and SE Queensland Local Governments, and aims to support sustainable practices in the fashion industry. Companies such as Kmart Group, Samsara Eco and Full Circle Fibres are also supportive as they look to develop local supply chains and markets for recycled textiles.
