Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Robina Campus purchases all eco-friendly cleaning and janitorial supplies from X02 (W: https://xo2.com.au). X02 was chosen for being a compliance leader and a local company. X02 products meet a range of different compliance standards including:
*SDS (Safety Data Sheets) - X02 provides SDS for its products which is mandatory for organisations that produce, manufacture, and sell a chemical product.
*GHS7 (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) - in Australia, organisations using chemicals must use GHS 7 to classify chemicals and prepare chemical labels and safety data sheets.
*TGA (Therapeutic Goods Association) - Robina Campus uses hospital-grade disinfectants and wipes for selected cleaning areas. X02 supplies TGA listed products.

Robina Campus also purchases some of its cleaning products from Winc (W: https://www.winc.com.au/). Winc have developed a Winc Social Agenda which details the meaningful and measurable targets they are committed to delivering against in partnership with their customers and suppliers. Robina Campus chose Winc because they are focused on reducing carbon emissions and packaging waste from Winc deliveries and increasing the amount they recycle. Winc also support customers to make more sustainable choices, whether it be converting away from single-use plastics, making packaging for Winc Own Brand products more sustainable, ranging more products made from recycled materials or consolidating orders to reduce carbon emissions. Winc's Social Agenda aligns to the UN SDGs.
