Material actions and disclosures
Hipages has maintained its commitment to measuring and reporting its carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2, and partial Scope 3 categories for the fourth consecutive year.

The company also continued its environmental initiatives, including the refill sparkling water station program at Sydney HQ, which reduced single-use plastic waste, and the Treely Challenge, a global step-and-reforestation program achieving over 80% participation across its geographies.
Forward commitments
Hipages aims to further enhance its environmental sustainability by maintaining its commitment to sustainable and social enterprise suppliers, including prioritising Indigenous and minority-owned providers. The company also launched hi-cycle, a cans and bottles recycling program resulting in donations to charities.
Regarding gender pay equity, Hipages reported a narrowed gender pay gap, with the average total remuneration gender pay gap for Australian-based employees narrowing from 12.1% to 7.4%, placing the company well below the industry median.
