We have committed to reducing greenhouse emissions on travel by 50% by 2025. For unavoidable emissions caused by travel we have implemented a BACHAT cook stove program through CARE International. Phase 1 of this program will continue until December 2024, benefitting over 9,000 traditional polluting cookstove-dependent households from Kalahandi and Kandhamal districts of Odisha, India, and leading to substantial carbon emission reductions.

We are a digital-first organisation. Paper in our fundraising mail packs is sustainably sourced and printed on 100% recycled Australian waste whenever possible.

CARE Australia is a leading international aid organisation that supports women around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We work in partnership with local communities to provide equal opportunities for women that they have long been denied: the ability to earn an income, gain access to their fair share of resources, to lead and participate in decisions that affect their lives, and to be able to withstand the increasing impacts of climate disasters and other crises.

We are an organisation that has gender equality at the heart of our work. It is core to all our international programming and humanitarian response work, and we are considered experts in this field. This includes a Diversity & Inclusion Policy and Action Plan, advocacy for disability rights in the international development space, and a Reconciliation Action Plan.
