Premises Review
Guided by our purpose of "Creating the fabric of a better life for people and planet", we partnered with Design for Dignity to conduct a review of all our Premises including our Retail Store Network, Distribution Centres and Support Offices.
Design for Dignity specialises in helping Australian organisations with inclusive design and dignified access. A survey was completed for each premise and data obtained on the current level of accessibility & inclusion.
The result of the overall review was recommendations from Design for Dignity along with a large volume of data, which is currently being reviewed, analyzed and a priority list is being prepared. Within our retail network we have a process of review for our premises and fit-outs using a checklist to ensure accessibility and inclusivity guidelines for new premises are met according to standard.
