Blooms The Chemist Port Coogee has become a B Corp Certified company, joining nearly 750 purpose-led businesses across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand working towards a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.
The certification, announced during B Corp Month, “marks a milestone for community pharmacies across Australia”, says the independently owned pharmacy, which began its B Corp journey in 2023.
It recognises that Blooms The Chemist Port Coogee has met the rigorous standards of B Corp Certification, demonstrating high social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
“It’s a reflection of the store’s values and commitment to people and planet, alongside profit, and aligns with [our] purpose of delivering expert care and service to help improve the health and lives of the community,” says the pharmacy.
The pharmacy has introduced several initiatives contributing to its B Impact Assessment.
In 2025, Blooms The Chemist Port Coogee partnered with Pharmacycle to divert over 140kgs of medical blister pack waste (which is equivalent to 90,000 individual blister packs) from landfill.
The store has also sponsored local sporting events for the 6th consecutive year, including the Christmas 10km Swim and the Jetty to Jetty Swim, as well as their local futsal club.
‘Passionate about making a real difference’
Blooms The Chemist Port Coogee Pharmacist-owner Andria Aird says becoming B Corp Certified is “an incredible achievement”.
“This is a testament to our pharmacists, staff and customers, who truly care about making a positive impact on our environment and community,” she says.
“We’re honoured to be part of the B Corp community, who are leaders in driving meaningful and sustainable change.
“The Certification helps signal to our partners and customers that we’re passionate about making a real difference in our local community, as well as broader society.
“Our team looks forward to upholding Blooms The Chemist and B Corp values to provide high-quality care and retail excellence to our Port Coogee community.”
