Prioritising sustainability is not a happy accident - it’s part of our DNA. Our philosophy is about being 'lovely to people, lovely to Australia and lovely to the planet. It’s the core of what we do. From our packaging, to the way we source our flowers, and the people we choose to do business with, doing good for the earth is always on our mind. While we aren’t perfect, we’re pretty proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we’d love to share it with you!
Our 'Someone thinks you're awesome' boxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard, righ here in Australia. It takes far less energy than producing new cardboard, and it gives the materials a second life. We've designed our boxes to be recyclable too, so the cycle can start all over again.
The 'W" word is a big no-no at LVLY. We believe everything can be put to good use and live many lives. Our iconic flower jars are designed to last and made to be useful long after your flowers fade. Pen holder, snack jar, pot plant, reusable vase - take your pick. Personalised jars in particular tend to stick around in someone's home well beyond the moment they were sent, which is exactly how we like it.
Flowers are flown in from all over the world, in transit for up to a week, which not only creates a huge carbon footprint but also means nasty pesticides at border control and a reduced shelf life. Our Paddock To Posy™ promise means longer-lasting flowers for our customers, more support for Aussie flower farmers and better outcomes for our planet.
We are very picky about the people we work with. We have a strong commitment to supporting local flower growers and small Australian businesses doing cool sh*t. We work with local legends who have similar values to us, and who care about treading lightly on the planet.
Here are some examples of the cool people we work with:
While there’s lots more we could talk about, we know there’s still a long way to go. Flowers and plants bring a huge amount of joy to us and our customers, but they are so heavily reliant on their environment to grow and flourish. Taking care of the land and treading lightly where we can will continue to be a driving force for us for as long as we exist to make people’s day.
