“That’s why I pick Woolies”

With more choices than ever before, more Australians still pick Woolies for their food shopping, 14 million every week.

From fresh produce to the choicest home grown meat, we always pick the best for you. And it’s not just about price, it’s about the best quality for all budgets. When it comes to the community, we’ll pick the greater good every time.

Woolworths is part of the community across Australia’s cities, regions and remote areas. We employ over 205,000 people who serve over 29 million customers a week.

With fresh bakeries in more than 600 stores across our network, we are proud to support the growing bread baking industry in Australia.

Sustainable sourcing means better opportunities for producers to implement sustainable practices, improved working conditions and helps to protect our planet.

With our presence across cities, regions and remote areas, Woolworths is a part of the fabric of society. We are committed to making a positive impact and partner with organisations that are equally committed to making change happen.

Providing hunger relief for Australians in need is a key focus, and our surplus food is redirected to help feed people who may otherwise go without.

In addition we support communities facing natural disasters with emergency relief and post-disaster recovery.

Our support of local communities, our partners and programs is part of our commitment to bring a little good to everyone every day.
