Backcountry Trust
We are proud supporters of The Back Country Trust (BCT), since its inception in 2014, the trust has funded restoration and maintenance projects of over 1500 km of walking and biking tracks and over 280 backcountry huts of public land.
We have committed to give 50c to the trust each time a customer agrees they can do without a paper carrier bag in one of our stores.
We are also planning our first volunteer adventure to a hut that needs some repairs, watch this space to see how our Swanni volunteers work their magic.
SPCA
Every year we run a virtual dog show, 'Swanndri Best in Show' and we donate $5 from each dog coat or collar sold in our stores or online for the duration of the show, to SPCA New Zealand.

Polygiene™
Polygiene™ is a finish that's applied to some of our garments which helps to control odours.
There are a number of benefits you'll enjoy from wearing one of our Polygiene treated products, including:
Body odour control. Polygiene keeps body odour smells away so you'll be able to keep wearing clothing longer.
Reduced environmental impact. Not needing to wash and dry your clothes as much will reduce energy and water use.
Increased lifetime of clothing. Polygiene reduces odour and the need to wash and dry clothing as much, these things are leading causes of fiber breakdown in your clothes.
