We have great goals. Our vision at The Watch Box Co. is to hold the finest collection of watch accessories in all of Australia. But we are proud to announce that we have a new set of goals - it is to reach net zero throughout our entire operations by 2030. Like you, we want to preserve what we have and pass it on to the next generation.
We invite you to join us in our sustainability efforts. By choosing our products, you are supporting a business that values environmental responsibility. Together, we can create a safer, greener world for our children to explore and enjoy.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
We are actively working to reduce our carbon footprint. From sourcing local materials to optimizing our logistics, we strive to lower our greenhouse gas emissions. We choose partners and manufacturers across the entire supply chain with consideration to their carbon footprint. We choose packaging materials that minimises plastic usage where possible.
The strategy is as follows:
- Tackling "easy-wins" and implementing them as fast as possible. These are low-cost activities that brings great results and hence should be executed as soon as possible. e.g. changing packaging material from plastic to paper, avoiding use of plastic in internal operations where possible.
- Choosing the right suppliers. We strive to look for better manufacturers every day, constantly reviewing the cost benefit analysis for sustainability. We score our manufacturers based on their sustainability principles. Although our manufacturers are located overseas at this stage, we aim to operate soley domestically to reduce carbon costs due to transport. If you are a manufacturer who may be able to produce any of our products (leather goods and electronics) reach out today at support@thewatchboxco.com.au.
- Complete review of our supply chain. We will revise every item and transport involved in our operations and gradually drive towards becoming net zero by 2030. Going net zero is an ambitious goal, and we will keep you updated on this page about our efforts.
June 2024: By using crinkle kraft paper alone, we were able to reduce plastic usage by 33% in our packaging. This packaging material is 100% biodegradable, compostable and reusable. This is what you call "easy-wins" - meaning they require relatively low effort but brings great results.

We are still a work in progress. Sustainability is a continuous journey, and we are committed to consistent improvement. We regularly review our practices and seek innovative solutions to enhance our environmental performance as far as practicable. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve our sustainability goals.
