Sustainability Policy

Our Sustainability Policy
 

At Soap de Villa, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality products that nurture both our skin and our planet. When you choose our soap, you embrace its benefits while actively contributing to the preservation of our environment.

We proudly implement sustainable practices across our operations:

 REDUCE  

 
  • We harness the power of the sun with a 1 kW Solar Electricity and Hot Water System, ensuring at least 30% of our energy comes from this renewable source.
  • Our office is illuminated with energy-saving light bulbs.
  • We are mindful about power consumption by turning off unnecessary power points.
  • Insulation in our roof, walls, and underfloor enhances our temperature control, making heating and cooling more efficient.
  • Every season, we make a conscious decision to adjust the temperature of our air conditioning and heating by 1°C to conserve energy.
  • Our taps are equipped with aerators to minimize water usage and costs.
  
REUSE
  • Double-sided printing for office memos and notes helps us make the most of our resources.
  • Partnering with a local business, we repurpose their wastepaper as packaging, reducing the need for new paper and saving trees.
  • We thoughtfully assess whether existing items can fulfil new roles before making purchases.
  • The decorations on our products are designed to be reused, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.
  
RECYCLE
  • We shred our office paper waste, giving it a new life.
  • We actively seek out others who can use our unwanted office furniture.
  • We prioritize purchasing from clearance groups over buying new items whenever possible.
 
   
Australian Made & Owned
 
 
 
 
In our Products we will:
 
USE AUSTRALIAN PRODUCTS
 
  • Our soap is lovingly made in Australia, with our business rooted in Sydney.  We have been a member with "Australian Made" logo since 2013.
  • We choose natural essential oils, fragrances or colourings in our products 
 
 
OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
 
In 2016-2017, we had the honor of being community coaches for the Max Potential program, connecting young leaders with seasoned mentors who empower them to make a difference. This enriching program spans five months, featuring one-on-one coaching, experiential workshops, and innovative community service projects that foster positive change.
 
In 2019, we proudly supported Angkor Flower & Crafts, a social enterprise enhancing the lives of refugee and migrant women through valuable skills training and employment opportunities.
 
From July 2018 to August 2019, we acted as student mentors for Global Scope, a program that bridges the gap between students and local businesses, allowing them to tackle real-world challenges and gain invaluable experience.
 
In 2023, we were honored to serve as coaching facilitators and panellists for the Global Sister program, a not-for-profit organization passionate about empowering women entrepreneurs to realize their dreams and build thriving businesses.
