Chemical safety

Key initiatives undertaken during the year are detailed below.

Bunnings

As a retailer of household and trade chemicals, Bunnings holds the required registrations and licences for the retail storage and handling of chemicals classified as dangerous goods. These requirements are in place at all relevant sites that store and handle these products to ensure compliance with relevant regulations in Australia and New Zealand.

In May 2024, Bunnings conducted an independent product safety labelling assessment to identify continuous improvement opportunities. During the year, Bunnings also commissioned a proactive review across selected product categories, including cleaning, automotive, pool chemicals and BBQ accessories to monitor compliance to trade measurement laws and consumer expectations.
