Collins Hume

Sustainability Story

Like you, we want to leave a positive and long-lasting legacy. One that's about contribution as opposed to consumption. It's important to us that we witness first-hand the positive difference we make. We want to make a living legacy that will be timeless. And every day, we feel deeply privileged to live, work and play in one of the most beautiful and prosperous regions in Australia and the world. We want to add to that beauty and prosperity not just locally but around the world too. Our giving and daily actions play a part in making sure of that. We can choose to partake in any number of lifestyle choices on our doorstep, we thrive in our locale, and our kids are healthy and strong. Given this, it would be remiss of us not to play a small part in bringing basics such as clean drinking water, sustenance, education, and hope to people worldwide. And to leave the planet better a better place. That's the kind of legacy of which we can all be proud. To make that happen, we work both locally AND globally. Globally, we partner with B1G1.com, 1% for the Planet & Climate Neutral. By partnering with us together we are creating smiles, changing lives and creating a better world.
