In 2021, we purchased an allotment in Impact International’s forest initiative. This forest is designed to help protect native Australian wildlife like kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, and wallabies as well as fauna, while also further reducing the carbon footprint of our packaging.
For example, based on a standard tube that holds 100mL of product, the Impact International forest can offset the raw materials used to manufacture approximately 30 million 100mL tubes each year. Additionally, Impact International’s energy consumption at its Sydney facility is 100% carbon neutral.
We’ve partnered with Tridi Oasis via Clean Hub, an all female led recycling company in Indonesia that work toward plastic neutrality by collecting plastic waste before it hits the oceans. Tridi Oasis process more than 750 tonnes of plastic bottles a month at their facility.
For every product we sell, Tridi Oasis will collect the equivalent weight of ocean-bound plastic. This aims to support a cleaner environment and creates employment opportunities for local women in the area.
This partnership enables us to do the following:
Currently, our coffee scrub bags are lined with foil to preserve the natural ingredients in the product. We plan to move away from these bags, and introduce a new carbon negative, renewable bioplastic material (BioPE) derived from sugarcane, to make all newly created scrub bags recyclable by the end of 2021.
This process is carbon negative; every 1kg produced of this material captures 3kgs of carbon from the atmosphere, which also reduces fossil fuels by 80%.
A big goal for our team is to eliminate single use plastics in our range. Our first reusable product was introduced in 2020 with our Perky cup that doubles as a food-grade coffee cup.
By mid 2022, we aim to introduce refill pouches for our core range made from biodegradable materials, that can be safely discarded in general waste, along with reusable jars or product containers available for our babes to pour their refills into.
We care about developing and growing the next generation of leaders and see our internships and work experience placements as an effective way to develop these skills within our team. When we recruit for interns, we focus on young people that show passion for the industry.
We recruit from any school and ensure we get representation from schools with students of all socio-economic backgrounds.
Interns are assigned to junior team members which enables us to train the next generation of managers within our team. 75% of our interns will stay on for a second semester and rotate into a new department to get full business exposure, and several of our coordinators have come through our internship program.

Behind the scenes at babe HQ, it’s always our goal to encourage confidence and be positive. We want to make every babe feel good in their skin. If what we put into the world is not doing that, we’re not doing it right.
The foundations of frank as a brand have always been, and always will be about our community and the open conversation we foster within it. We strongly believe that through open dialogue we can better deliver on our mission to make babes feel good. We want to use our platform and voice to lift babes up. This starts at babe HQ by empowering our team.
Diversity at frank means giving a voice to babes with a variety of skin tones, from different cultures and races, ages and circumstances. Babes with a variety of beliefs and values, genders and sexual preferences. It means highlighting all body shapes, sizes, and abilities.

We received our Cruelty Free accreditation through PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program, to have our cruelty free statement accredited across all product lines.
