Brother Australia conducts environmental activities based on the Brother Group’s “5 Rs”:

1.REDUCE

waste material by recycling

Earthwatch – committed to our environment

Brother has joined forces with Earthwatch to help find solutions to some of Australia’s pressing environmental challenges.

Earthwatch is an international organisation which supports scientific research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment.

Together, Brother and Earthwatch will support a national network of research projects which focus on tackling climate change and the conservation of Earth’s precious natural resources.

Brother employees and customers will be actively involved in these projects, volunteering their time to become ‘Citizen Scientists’, providing hands-on assistance to the researchers in the field.
