Our commitment to sustainability.
At Chilli, we’re passionate about minimising our impact on the planet. We’re constantly seeking new ways to improve our sustainable practices both in and out of the office.

Chilli – encouraging our team to use alternate transport
We believe even the smallest of actions hold the power to create profound, lasting changes. From reducing our environmental footprint to forming partnerships with businesses that share our values, we are focused on making a positive impact.
Since 2006, our stunning waterfront location has allowed us to make the most of the fresh air. We took the initiative to install floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors and shade sails to promote natural airflow, reducing our reliance on air conditioning throughout the year.
Our office building recently made a significant advancement by installing solar panels across the entire roof, allowing us to power our operations entirely with renewable solar energy.
The average office worker in Australia uses around 50 kg of paper a year—equivalent to some 10,000 sheets of A4 paper! That is why we encourage a paperless office by storing all documentation and communications on the cloud, drastically reducing our ecological footprint. We only print when essential for reports or by client request, and all our paper is responsibly sourced, printed, and recycled.
At Chilli, we love a good coffee and a chat. Instead of using wasteful, single-use coffee pods, we grind our own beans for a more sustainable and let’s face it, more flavourful brew. Our used coffee grounds are composted or taken home by team members to use as fertiliser.
We carefully select all our office supplies with the environment in mind, opting for the best eco-friendly alternatives. From reusable kitchen towels to dishwasher sheets and eco-soaps, we’re committed to reducing our impact while supporting like-minded, sustainable businesses.
We ensure that all Chilli-branded materials, including our graphic T-shirts, are printed on high-quality, traceable materials sourced responsibly. Before production, we take a headcount of those interested in wearing or using our merchandise and only print what is necessary, avoiding mass production and textile waste.
We encourage our team members to commute sustainably. Our director Darren leads by example, riding his bike to work every day.

Chilli Premises roof – creating renewable energy
We recognise that becoming more sustainable is not something that happens overnight. It’s a collaborative, ever-evolving process, where every small action contributes to bigger, lasting changes. In the upcoming year, we aim to build on the steps we’ve already taken, further reducing our environmental impact and continuing to challenge ourselves to do better.
At Chilli, we recognise the power we have to influence, challenge and shape others, which is why we aim to be a positive influence within the industry. Our goal is to inspire those around us to consider sustainability in their own operations and lean towards environmentally conscious manners.
By carefully choosing to outsource to ethical printers, merchandisers, and suppliers, we not only ensure the highest quality of materials but also support businesses that prioritise eco-friendly practices.
Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change, ensuring that every link in our chain upholds the same dedication to sustainability that we do. Our pledge is to keep evolving, ensuring that each step we take contributes to a more sustainable future.
Promoting a green way of doing business
We have been working with Chilli for 3+ months now on some projects. In the beginning, they took the time to understand our project goals and have done their upmost to bring that into reality. Their team is always a pleasure to deal with and we have found them to be understanding and flexible within reason. I couldn’t recommended them more.
EMT Medical Services engaged Chili Media to improve our Google Ads account, after a detailed consultation Fran took charge of our account and the phone hasn’t stop ringing. On her advice, EMT is now in the process of updating our website and SEO. All the staff at Chilli are ultimate professionals who are invested in improving our business. Di & I can’t thank them enough. They also do great coffee!!! We highly recommend Chilli.
This is an amazing company with highly skilled, well trained and organised staff. They found a solution for my business that I did not think was possible for the value they offer. Why hire a marketing person with just one skill set when Chilli can provide a range of services and solutions within a reasonable budget? The competitive advantage they have with their own production company- Pepper Productions makes for seamless execution for content creation. Great company – could not recommend them highly enough.
The team is very helpful and patient with our website project for our allied health clinic. Maddie and the web development team are very easy to work with. They always follow up with us. I definitely recommend them.
Kings Beach Surf Club’s experience with Chilli has been fantastic. We initially reached out to Chilli for our brand rollout, and from there we have been working together on several other incredible projects. Right from the first moment we met with Darren, it’s been a great experience. Darren’s and the team’s ideas right in our first conversation set us up to succeed. At Chilli, they always make you feel comfortable, simply by their knowledge and experience. They are always happy for us to come into the office, sometimes on really short notice. They were fantastic and we were comfortable from the minute we stepped in the door.
Chilli are an essential part of the marketing team at Pacific Lutheran College! We have been working with Darren Blake and his team for well over 10 years now. We have worked closely with Chilli to develop strategic marketing plans and direction. A key part of their roll has been in enhancing the community profile of the College. Over the years we have engaged with Chilli for a wide range of services including graphic design, web development, digital and print advertising, strategic development and branding. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Chilli into the future.
Meeting face to face is always preferred as it can be helpful to call on our relevant team members if required.
However we are also happy to chat via Zoom.
