Project Overview: A Sustainable Home for Toxin-Free Living
Wanju (welcome) to our store – a warm greeting that sets the tone for a special journey in sustainability and care for our planet. Goodly Gosh is here for people who want to do great things for the planet and find toxin-free wares for their family. This small family business in Perth, Western Australia, was started by a Mum and a Dad who want the best for their 2 young children, our planet, and the future. The concept is simple but impactful… offering solutions that are close to nature, reusable and recyclable, toxic-free and plastic-free, all while being ethically sourced and sustainably made. Every detail is carefully considered, right from the concept to design of the product, raw material to the manufacturing process, packaging to logistics – a conscious effort to reduce the impact on this planet. Creating products that last a long time and can be passed on from one generation to another, much like the heirlooms of our grandparents, stands as a sustainable solution.

Our Values and Philosophy
There is a profound guiding principle behind every product offered. Everything in life is considered a Blessing – this life, this breath, nature around, cherished relations, and even the things that are missing. At the same time, accountability is key – a sense of Karma for all that is received. While it is easy to take nature, natural resources, wildlife, and animals (and sometimes even people) for granted, Goodly Gosh stands firm in the belief that abuse of these gifts is unacceptable. This simple but deep philosophy, marked by pauses for reflection… helps steer the enterprise on a path that honors the environment and respects every living being.
Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Quality is never compromised. The project stays away from concepts or products that could easily be misunderstood as mere marketing gimmicks or fleeting fads. Buzzwords and jargons that could lead to GreenWashing are carefully avoided. Instead, this venture prioritizes transparent details – from the use of ethically sourced raw materials to the thoughtful design that underpins every product. There is a focus on simplicity; features and colors that do not add value or that might harm the environment are deliberately left out. Such dedication to quality reflects a quiet confidence – an assurance that every step, right from raw material selection to logistics, is meticulously managed.
Ethical Sourcing and Community Minded Approach
The project’s approach to ethical sourcing goes beyond superficial compliance. Suppliers, product designers, and concept creators work together closely to eliminate unnecessary packaging and waste, whether in the product itself or in transportation practices. There is a profound dedication to recycling every piece of packaging received in shipping orders, and the shipping agency is recognized for being Carbon Neutral. It is a genuine pursuit to delve behind the brands and connect with the real people behind the products – ensuring that the same passion for environmental care is shared throughout the supply chain.
Deep Roots in Traditional Custodianship
Acknowledgment of heritage and respect for ancestral ties is deeply interwoven in the fabric of the venture. Goodly Gosh acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Whadjuk People of the Nyoongar nation on which the business is located. Respect is paid to their Elders – past, present, and emerging – signaling a commitment to recognize and honor the longstanding history and natural legacies of the region. It is a humbling reminder of one’s connection to land and community, forming a bridge between traditional wisdom and modern sustainable practices.

Embracing the Journey Ahead
Goodly Gosh’s commitment is not simply about selling products – it’s about embracing a lifestyle that honors nature, sustainability, and ancient wisdom. The transparency in design and manufacturing, the direct connection with responsible suppliers, and the heartfelt value system underpinning each decision all contribute to a vision where each product is more than just an item; it is a statement of care. With friendly, engaging efforts and occasional reflective pauses… every step of the journey, from concept to the final delivery, reinforces the mission of creating positive, lasting change for the environment and future generations.
