Our 2030 strategic direction outlines a clear focus in our Product pillar, with the aim that 100% of our products will be sustainable, responsible, or circular.
To achieve this goal, three key areas of focus are pivotal – Product Transparency, Metal Stewardship, and Innovation.

Nature Restoration
Planting trees is the simplest, yet most critical initiative that aids in improving air quality, sequestering carbon, preventing soil erosion, and providing biodiverse habitats. For every LAB. Collection piece sold in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Michael Hill has committed to planting up to 10 trees with One Tree Planted. With your help, we have committed to planting one million trees throughout Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Our goal is to reach this one million milestone in 2030.
Energy Efficiency in our Brisbane Support Office
We are committed to consistently searching for better ways to operate, to benefit and reduce our impact on the environment. Having just relocated to a new head office in Brisbane, Australia, we now occupy a building that is more efficient and considerate of the environment and runs on 100% net-zero emission energy from entirely renewable sources.
A part of the brief for this development was to be environmentally considerate and have installed a 99KW solar panel system in accordance with Australian Standard AS5033 by Clean Energy Council to assist in our journey to offset our energy usage building features solar panels and water tanks to capture rainwater to be used in the buildings facilities systems for all landscaping, and as the specifying tenant of the new building, we have driven the systems and technologies used on site to reduce energy use. Our landlord is seeking official accreditation for its green operating status in due course. Our aim is for all our Scope 1 & 2 operations to be Net Zero by 2025.
