Baileys as part of Evergreen Garden Care has been carbon neutral since 2019. We annually reduce our carbon emissions year on year with our efficiency and continuous improvement projects across the country. Once we have reduced what we can from our production process, we offset any remaining carbon emissions (what is called Scope 1 and 2) by buying Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) for forestry protection, tree-planting or United Nations projects.

Carbon neutrality is one of the key metrics to measure the global response to the climate crisis. By becoming carbon neutral, we are not only doing our part to help improve the health of the planet, but we’ll also be helping our gardeners and supply chain partners achieve their green goals, too.

Baileys are part of Australian Packaging Covenant (APC). This is a sustainable packaging initiative which aims to change the culture of business to design more sustainable packaging. One of the ways we're embracing sustainability is by using Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) materials in our packaging. In simpler terms, we’re giving used plastic a second life and reducing our reliance on virgin plastics from fossil fuels. By incorporating 30% PCR into our new Brilliance, 3.1.1. Plus and 4.1.1. bags, we're making substantial progress towards our target of 50% recycled content across all packaging by 2030.

Baileys has a 70kW solar system providing approximately 15% of our power usage and feeding into the grid on weekends. Next we are working on upgrading machinery to improve efficiency, eliminate waste and reduce the emissions from our production process.
