Changing the world for the better.
In New Zealand, we focus on ethical consumerism, inclusive faith spaces, price transparency, and social housing. Around the world, we partner with local communities to support disaster response, anti-slavery initiatives, and sustainable development.
New Zealand Projects
Ethical Consumerism
Empowering Kiwi shoppers with objective ethical coffee ratings on Just Good Coffee, hosting the annual Devonport Ethical Market, and advocating transparent supply-chain labeling via the Ethical Transparency Alliance.
Inclusive Faith Spaces
Hosting welcoming, LGBTQ+ affirming Christian gatherings with The Open Table NZ, and mapping over 1,800 local churches on inclusion and women in leadership through Church Clarity NZ.
Family Services
Providing transparent consumer directories for Funeral Pricing NZ and Aged Care Directory, alongside providing affordable community shelter through Auckland Social Housing.
International Projects
Crisis Response & Relief
Rapid disaster response providing essential food, clean water, shelter, and medical support in crisis-affected regions including Syria, Turkey, and East Africa.
Transformational Development (TCD)
Partnering with local village leaders in Indonesia, Argentina, Pakistan, and Nepal to establish sustainable water systems, schools, and self-reliance programs.
Anti-Slavery & Recovery
Supporting specialist partners like Hagar NZ to protect, rehabilitate, and reintegrate survivors of human trafficking and severe abuse in Cambodia and Afghanistan.
The Profit for Good Engine
Our businesses were built with a strong commitment to charity. Because Barcodes NZ is 100% owned by the Better World Initiative, every dollar of profit goes directly to these projects locally and globally.
