Sustainability
Social responsibility and sustainability sit at the core of NovoFit's values. They shape how we work towards being Australia's trusted provider of global fitness brands, and how we reduce our environmental and social impact along the way.
Reducing our footprint, from the warehouse to the gym floor.
NovoFit understands the impact that manufacturing and business activity has on our planet. Caring for future generations means acting in ways that support healthy people, a healthy planet and a healthy economy.
We partner with global brands that run strong environmental policies, and our own policy covers waste management, transport, energy use, safe storage and staff training.
How we're making a difference
Refurbish and resale
Parts and equipment are refurbished and resold wherever possible. When they can't be reused, parts and steel are recycled rather than sent to landfill.
Self-powered and energy-capture equipment
Self-powered equipment can cut power use by up to 100%. Energy-capture equipment can convert up to 74% of the energy members produce into renewable power for the facility's grid.
Cardboard recycling
We recycle over 1,000 cubic metres of cardboard and paper every year, around 20 cubic metres each week.
LED lighting
Our warehouses and offices run on energy-saving LED lighting, certified carbon neutral by Climate Active, saving up to 50% on warehouse energy bills.
Reusable packaging
Beyond cardboard, we recycle plastic, metal, polystyrene, office waste and more, and reuse packaging wherever we can.
Helping end modern slavery
NovoFit is committed to helping end modern slavery and to ethical practices throughout our global supply chain.
Connecting with community
NovoFit aims to add value to the communities we work in through accessible, inclusive solutions and fundraising support. We work to lift leisure participation among people with a disability, older Australians and Indigenous communities.
Over the last decade, NovoFit has helped organisations raise more than $10 million through fitness fundraising.
