Pioneering Sustainability

At Good Earth Oils, our commitment to sustainable practices extends deep into our core values. We recognise the paramount importance and we are steadfast in our dedication to adopting and refining existing methods to produce edible oil and protein meal that are not only sustainable but also entirely chemical-free.

Our pursuit of sustainability encompasses a comprehensive approach, starting with the reduction of waste. We are resolute in our mission to minimise any form of waste that might otherwise end up in landfills, diligently working to repurpose and recycle wherever possible. This not only reduces our environmental footprint but also aligns with our ethos of responsible resource management.

Cootamundra Oilseeds proudly holds the distinction of being the pioneering oil crushing plant in Australia to incorporate renewable solar energy, alongside its conventional electricity supply for current plant operations. By harnessing the power of 568kWp of solar energy, Cootamundra Oilseeds actively reduces its carbon footprint, effectively abating an average of 55.3 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions per month.

In line with its commitment to sustainable practices, Cootamundra Oilseeds is actively pursuing its goal of transitioning the entire oilseed crushing plant to run on renewable energy. This entails a combination of solar power and biodiesel for power generation, exemplifying our dedication to both environmental stewardship and energy innovation.

Furthermore, we have meticulously implemented systems and processes that are designed to prevent any contamination of our precious air and water resources. We understand the far-reaching implications that pollution can have on biodiversity and ecosystems, and we are committed to ensuring that our operations have a net positive impact on the environment.

Our ongoing efforts are focused on enhancing efficiency, curbing energy consumption, and, most importantly, producing products that are free from harmful chemicals. By doing so, we contribute to the betterment of human and animal health, fostering a world where individuals and ecosystems thrive in harmony with nature.

In essence, we view sustainability as a dynamic process that drives us to innovate and develop systems and processes that benefit not only our business but also the broader community and the environment. We are steadfast in our commitment to this journey of progress and positive change.
