Have you seen our Easter hunt bags? Perfect for Easter egg hunt adventures, these adorable bags are made by Township Fleva - an organisation working to develop unemployed youth through training, education and healthcare. That's the difference 💚

Got preloved denims gathering dust at the back of your cupboard? Let’s give them a fresh start! Drop them off at one of the 20 Woolies stores participating in our denim drop-off. Through the Taking Care of Business Remake Programme, your denims will be upcycled by talented seamstresses into new creative products 👖 This International Day Of Zero Waste, let’s turn old threads into new opportunities! 💚

Thank you for delivering a powerful and unique take on the Woolies experience, Siphokazi Jonas ❤️

Because our followers on LinkedIn were interested in the large crane we shared pics of a few weeks back, we thought we would share an update 😊 More solar panels were delivered to our HQ today, this time on the roof of Woolworths House, the main building on our campus. Once complete, the combined systems will generate around 730,000 kWh of green energy per year 💚

We recently won the PETCO Best Design for Circularity for our iced tea range, for the first-in-South Africa recyclable polyolefin shrink sleeve, ensuring both bottle and sleeve can be recycled ♻️ Proof of our ongoing dedication to sustainable packaging solutions. #GlobalRecyclingDay 💚

Happy World Water Day 💙 Since the inception of the Woolies Water Fund, we have provided water solutions worth R8mil to schools and communities that do not have sustainable access to clean water, furthering our commitment to Inclusive Justice through impactful change. To date, we have installed water tanks at 115 schools, built over 1000 handwashing stations, donated 250 rainwater tanks, and stored 1.2 million litres of water for schools.

More than 30 years ago, our Constitution laid the foundation for a nation built on dignity, equality, and justice. Today, the responsibility to uphold these principles doesn’t rest with history – it rests with us. It extends into our communities, our schools, and our workplaces. #HumanRightsDay

Last year, we launched the trial of our WBeauty refillable make-up range, in line with our vision to see none of our packaging waste go to landfill 💚 It’s time to switch to refillable eyeshadows, bronzers, powdered blushers, pressed powders and shimmer bricks for a more sustainable beauty routine 💄 Beauty you love, now with less waste this #GlobalRecyclingDay

The Woolies Women in Tech committee attended the Women in Tech South Africa International Women’s Day conference - serving as a powerful reminder of the strength in community and shared experiences. Women in Tech International's goal is to empower 5 million women and girls by 2030, and our internal WIT team hopes to contribute towards this goal 🚀 Some of the panel topics of interest included “The role of empowering Africa’s inclusive Digital Economy” and “AI and Web3 for Good: Driving impact and inclusion”. Speakers reiterated the importance of driving positive change and giving people a voice – using technology to drive good outcomes. The event celebrated women, in support of women, and leading with passion and purpose.   Woolies CIO, Dr Christie Koorts, attended the event in support of International Women’s Day. “This was an event of innovation, connection and action. It was a testament to being a part of a group who are passionate about technology and empowerment. I look forward to hosting our next Woolies Women in Tech event soon, as we continue to bridge the gender gap in the field of STEM.”
