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’ve had a great first up experience with the Chilli team. From an invaluable 1 day workshop, to a rebranding exercise, website copywriting and rebuild, video work, and now final stages of website launch and blogging/ social media strategies. Best experience we’ve had and we’ve had our fair share of engagements over the years. Highly recommend Chilli to anyone needing help in the area of marketing support !

I am currently in the process of launching a new business and Teneale, Ali and Amanda have been fantastic in the development of the brand and logo. I am very happy with the creative process and result, with the communication throughout the experience being open, informative, and professional. Cheers to the whole Chilli team, I look forward to working with you further during the upcoming website development and finalisation of SEO work.
We have worked with Chilli to develop every aspect of our branding and website and are thrilled with their work. They provide a thorough, responsive and collaborative service and have patiently walked us through how to use everything. We are very grateful to all of the team for always being there for us.
