Getting CSR Right, People, Planet & Print

Corporate Social Responsibility, Ministry of Shirts
Doing the right thing, always
Our Commitment
From day one, doing the right thing has mattered as much as the print.

In a world full of clichés and emotive sentiment around sustainability and ethics, we believe in getting down to brass tacks and talking clearly about what we actually do.

From the conception of our company, doing right by the planet and the people on it has been as important to us as to our customers. We may be a small player in the garment printing marketplace, but we believe we can still impact human rights and environmental concerns positively.

We use sustainable and safe methods across our print practices and products. Not because we have to, because it's the right thing to do.

What We Actually Do
Our CSR Commitments
01
Ethical Sourcing & Pricing

We source our garments only from suppliers with verified ethical manufacturing standards. Our pricing is fair and transparent, no hidden markups, no exploitation in the supply chain.

02
Health & Safety

Sound health and safety practices for all our staff and walk in customers. Our print environment is safe, well maintained and compliant with NSW workplace standards.

03
Biodegradable Chemicals

We use biological and biodegradable chemicals throughout our process, safe for waterways, flora and fauna. Our soya based cleaners produce no hazardous waste.

04
Water Recycling

We recycle our water usage for screen tear down and clean off. Washout water that does enter the drain system is water, flora, fauna and aquatic safe, processed through a five stage filter system.

05
Chemical Waste Treatment

We are one of the only garment printing companies that physically removes chemical waste from our print warehouse and has it chemically treated off site in the Hunter Valley. No shortcuts.

06
Colourfast, Long Life Inks

We use only colourfast, long life inks cured at 180°C. Garments that last longer mean less waste, better for your budget and better for the environment.
