The Leadership Series: Q&A With Alison Covington, Founder & Managing Director at Good360 Australia

The Leadership Series: Leadership Observations From The Front Line
Interviews with Leaders from the For-Purpose sector with Liska Turner.
For-Purpose leaders are as diverse as the organisations that they lead. Every couple of months I sit down with a Leader where they share their experiences and thoughts on leading a for-purpose organisation.
This month, I had the pleasure of talking to Alison Covington, Founder & Managing Director at Good360 Australia.
Alison Covington brought the ‘Good360’ charity to Australia, which offers the retail sector a sustainable, community-focused option to redirect surplus product from landfill. Inspiring all Australians to ensure that every brand-new product must have a ‘first life’ use – nothing useful to lie unused or go to waste.
Good360 is Australia’s largest online marketplace, matching business’ surplus brand-new goods to people most in need.
In just six years, over 300 retailers and manufacturers have signed on and donated over $205 million in brand new product, including essential toiletries, household items, clothing, shoes, PPE and stationery supplies to name a few. Their network of almost 3,000 member charities and disadvantaged schools Australia-wide, across 31 cause areas, order the goods they need from the Good360 website with the ease of 24/7 access, saving time and precious budget. Thanks to Alison’s business model and vision, more than 24 million brand-new items have been matched to people in need, helping to provide dignity and equality. Of this, due to back-two-back disasters over the last two years, including drought, floods, bushfires and the ongoing devastation of COVID -19, over 10 million items have been matched directly to assist communities in disaster recovery.
Good360 Australia is well on the way to achieving Alison’s goal of matching $1 billion worth of brand-new goods to Australians in need by 2025.
