🦇 What is this, a centre for ants?! No, it’s a centre for bats! 🦇 These batboxes have been installed by the team at Chapel Hill Winery to encourage microbats roosting. The hope is this will contribute towards sustainable pest management and reduce Chapel Hill’s need for chemical interventions. The presence of microbats, along with predatory arthropods 🐞 and insectivorous birds 🐦, ensures a balanced ecosystem where pests are kept in check naturally! It’s all part of Chapel Hill Winery’s Biodiversity Action Plan used to support local and endemic fauna species as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability. It’s also part of the SA Government’s Wildlife for Wine project. 🍷

As part of our NAIDOC week celebrations, we were thrilled to host some of our First Nations suppliers for an exclusive tasting event in our Surry Hills office this evening.

At Endeavour Group we are all about building connections between our customers, team and suppliers and we are proud to be working with such esteemed drinks connoisseurs.

♻ Sure, we've all heard of accounting audits, but have you ever heard of a waste audit before?! As part of our second year partnership with Plastic Free Foundation through Rebecca Prince-Ruiz OAM we carried out a waste audit at our Dan Murphy's Bicton store. Team members Britt and Malissa did an exceptional job reviewing procurement, overstocks and as well as assessing the different waste bins in the store to better understand consumption. Through this process we will be able to develop new opportunities and solutions for our retail stores. The entire process was captured on film below! (Thanks to Tashi Hall for filming this!) It also marks the beginning of Plastic Free July where you can become part of the solution by choosing to refuse single-use plastics. ♻

📢 A warm welcome to BMF Australia - announced this week as our lead creative agency, working across our much loved portfolio of brands including Dan Murphy's and BWS. BMF Australia will work in partnership with Endeavour Group to gain a deeper understanding of our customers' social needs and behaviours across liquor retail and hospitality, bringing an overarching perspective to foster growth across our brands. Endeavour Group’s Chief Marketing Officer Joanna Rose said the appointment of BMF Australia was a significant milestone for Endeavour in unlocking more memorable customer experiences by recognising the Group’s collective strength is greater than the sum of its parts. “We made the decision to move to a single creative partner to help us lift the role and influence of creativity in our organisation. Having one partner will help us be more purposeful in the way we grow our brands," she said. “We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to our incumbent agencies, M&C Saatchi Group (BWS) and Thinkerbell (Dan Murphy’s). M&C Saatchi has been a key agency partner of BWS since 2016, and in that time has worked on several important brand platforms, including most recently the launch of Refreshingly BWS. Thinkerbell has worked with Dan Murphy’s since 2019, completely repositioning the brand and culminating in the recent launch of the new Dan Murphy’s platform, Nobody Beats. “Both agencies have made an enormous contribution to our business and laid the foundations for our future.”

Back in April we joined forces with Lion to donate 50 cents from every XXXX Gold schooner 🍻 sold at ALH Hotels across Queensland to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. Together, we raised an impressive $100,000 that will be dedicated to supporting vital reef conservation efforts to help the Reef recover and build resilience. It was fantastic to see so many people contribute to a worthy cause simply by enjoying a XXXX at our venues across the Sunshine State 🌞
