How did Go For Zero donate more than $100,000?
Have you ever stopped to think about where one small choice can lead? Maybe it was choosing a shampoo bar instead of a plastic bottle. Refilling your cleaning products rather than buying another plastic spray. Or swapping cling wrap for reusable food wraps.
On their own, those choices might seem small. But when thousands of poeple make those same choices, something incredible happens.
We've always believed sustainable living isn't about being perfect. It's about making simple swaps that are realistic for everyday families. Because while one person can't solve the world's biggest problems alone, thousands of people making small changes together absolutely can.
That's exactly what's happened.Today we're celebrating a milestone that belongs to every single one of you.
Together, we've now donated more than$100,000 to Australian charities through i=Change, helping support both people and the planet with every order.

It all started with one simple belief
When I started Go For Zero, my dream was simple. I wanted to find safer products for my family.
As I learned more about plastic pollution and unnecessary toxins, that dream grew into something much bigger. I wanted to make sustainable living easier, less overwhelming and more accessible for everyday Australians.
But from the very beginning, I also wanted Go For Zero to create an impact beyond the kinder products we sold.
That's why from every order Go For Zero donates $1. At the checkout, our customers choose whether that dollar supports Foodbank Australia, Greening Australia or Seabin Project through our giving partner, i=Change. It means every purchase creates a ripple effect that reaches far beyond your home.

Why does Go For Zero support these charities?
I've always believed that sustainability is about more than the products we use. It's about caring for our communities, protecting the planet we call home, and supporting the people and organisations working hard to create a better future.
That's why we give our customers the choice to direct their $1 donation to a cause that matters to them. Together, we're able to support incredible charities doing meaningful work across Australia.
Foodbank Australia
Foodbank Australia works with almost 3,000 charities and supplies thousands of school breakfast programs, helping provide food relief to Australians experiencing hardship.
In 2025 alone, they sourced the equivalent of 92 million meals for Australians in need.

Greening Australia
For more than 40 years, Greening Australia has restored Australia's unique landscapes.
In 2025, they established 3.2 million native plants and restored 3,550 hectares of habitat to protect biodiversity.

Seabin Project
Seabin Project develops innovative technology that removes plastics, microplastics and other pollutants from our waterways.
Since July 2020, Seabin has filtered 36.7 billion litres of water and captured more than 20 million plastic items in Sydney Harbour.
Can one dollar really make a difference?
It's easy to think, "It's only a dollar." But when thousands of people make that same choice, those dollars become something far bigger.
Because of this incredible community, Go For Zero has been able to:
- Provide more than 90,000 meals to Australians doing it tough through Foodbank Australia.
- Plant more than 25,000 trees with Greening Australia.
- Remove the equivalent of more than 36,000 kilograms of plastic from our oceans through Seabin.
Not bad for a few everyday swaps. It really goes to show that every small action can grow into something pretty amazing!
This milestone belongs to you
When we realised we'd passed the $100,000 donation milestone, I cried. Not because of the number itself, but because of what it represents.
Seeing that number took me straight back to packing orders in our spare room, wondering whether this little dream would ever become something bigger.
I never imagined we'd one day be helping feed families, restore Australian landscapes and protect our oceans alongside such an incredible community.
We've never chased donation milestones. Our goal has always been to make sustainable living easier, help people make healthier choices, and give back wherever we can. The fact we've now donated more than $100,000 is simply the result of thousands of people deciding that where they shop matters.
So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Every refill, every reusable swap, every order you've placed has helped us create this impact together. I'm so incredibly proud that together with you, Go For Zero is proving that small swaps really can change the world.
Love Always,
