The Australian Museum is dedicated to upholding these principles and only works with suppliers who are signatories to the Indigenous Art Code. This commitment ensures transparency, fairness, and respect in our relationships with Indigenous artists and communities.

We are committed to improving community understanding of climate change and demonstrating how to protect and conserve the natural environment. We aim to be a leader in sustainable retailing.

We have taken several steps to promote sustainability:

• We do not offer single-use plastic carry bags in our shop.
• We collaborate with suppliers to reduce or eliminate unnecessary plastics and packaging.
• Our products and packaging use biodegradable cellophane cellulose bags and FSC® certified paper and board.
• We sort and reuse packaging from deliveries, sending as little as possible to landfill.
• We prioritize the use of recycled or recyclable alternatives to bubble wrap.
• Our shipping boxes are either reused or made from 100% FSC® certified cardboard.
• Shipping bags and padded mailers are reused, and new ones are compostable.

We are committed to ethical and sustainable sourcing and collaborate with suppliers to scrutinize supply chains and product provenance. We champion ethical buying of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander art and products, acquiring all works directly from makers or owned art centres throughout Australia, and we work exclusively with suppliers who are signatories to the Indigenous Art Code.

We recognize that there is more work to be done, and we are continually seeking and implementing better solutions for the planet and our customers. Sustainability is an ongoing commitment, and we are dedicated to making further improvements in reducing our environmental impact.
