Pinjarra Bakery Sustainability Journey

The Challenge

As a beloved local business, Pinjarra Bakery was committed to operating responsibly and minimising their environmental footprint. However, they lacked the expertise and resources to develop a comprehensive sustainability action plan. Pinjarra Bakery owners recognised the importance of sustainability but were unsure where to start and how to overcome the typical barriers faced by small businesses.

The Evolveable Solution

Pinjarra Bakery partnered with Evolveable Consulting to access their cost-effective Impact Academy solutions, designed specifically for Western Australian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to embark on their sustainability journeys.

Gap Analysis

The engagement began with Evolveable’s sustainability gap analysis, which evaluated Pinjarra Bakery’s current practices across energy, water, waste, sourcing, and operations. The analysis identified key improvement areas and opportunities.

Sustainability Policy Development

Leveraging insights from the gap analysis, Evolveable’s consultants guided Pinjarra Bakery in developing a fit-for-purpose sustainability policy. The policy formalised the bakery’s commitment to sustainability stewardship and set the strategic direction for their initiatives.

Action Plan Creation

Applying their newly acquired knowledge, Pinjarra Bakery worked closely with Evolveable’s experts to develop a practical sustainability action plan. The plan outlined specific goals, initiatives, timelines, and responsibilities across key focus areas such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, sustainable sourcing, and community engagement.
