Whether you're popping in for a cuppa at Wildflower Espresso, browsing in Wildflower Space or perusing our online store; the main thing you'll find across it all: people matter. You matter. And we want every interaction with Wildflower to change the world for the better.

That is not an exaggeration.

Our mission is to do our absolute best to make our products and services as ethical and sustainable as possible. We aim to positively impact our ​people, our planet and our community. As a small business, we admit this is not always entirely achievable, but we are constantly changing, adapting, and improving our way of business to move closer to that goal.

Here are some ways that we are, practically, doing this.

COFFEE BEANS

Since we began in 2018, we’ve proudly partnered with Glee Coffee Roasters. They’re a fellow small business roasting just 40 minutes down the road from Wildflower and, like us, they care deeply about both people and coffee. That means care and respect flow right through the supply chain: every farmer is known, and most of the mills are independently owned by families or local co-operatives. Glee also partners with multiple projects focused on innovative and sustainable environmental practices, ethical responsibility, and social equality. We trust Glee to deliver consistently incredible coffee without ever compromising on people-first values.

MILK

For the milk in our coffees, we use milk sourced from family-owned Little Big Dairy Co and Dairy Farmers. We use an Australian-invented machine called the Milk Juggler. The Milk Juggler automatically fills our milk jugs to the perfect amount for each coffee, ensuring minimal milk wastage (it’s like actual magic). The Milk Juggler also allows us to use 10L milk bladders instead of going through tonnes of plastic milk bottles. This invention has already reduced the use of 2L plastic milk bottles by 55,000,000 bottles and counting.

CUPS

We’re big fans of reusable cups at Wildflower (and we happen to think we sell some of the best on the market). Bring your own and we'll give you a 50c discount. Right now, 20–30% of our coffees go into reusables and we’re always working to lift that number. But when takeaway is needed, our cups have always been more than just recyclable, they’re fully home compostable (tested in our own backyard!)

MANUFACTURE

Since day one, Wildflower apparel has been ethically sourced and manufactured. The clothing industry can be a challenging and costly space to navigate sustainably, but we work closely with our manufacturers to ensure that human rights and environmental responsibility stay at the core of what we do. We had the opportunity to visit our manufacturers in Shenzhen, China this year, and we're excited to continue building on our sustainable practices together.

PACKAGING & DELIVERY

We work hard to minimise plastic and waste in our packaging and postage. We use 100% compostable garment bags and mailers (tested in our own home compost!), along with recyclable packaging for every order. Our parcels are sent via Sendle, a courier committed to carbon-neutral delivery.

We absolutely love our community of businesses big and small, continuing
to collaborate with other business is a way for us to expand our reach
and keep building each other up, one of Wildflowers employee values is
that We are customer focussed, not competitor focussed and partnering with other business is one of the greatest ways to show that!

So far we have partnered with this list below and we intend on adding to it regularly. If you know a business you would like to see us
collaborate with please let us know or ask them to reach out!
