Community

Giving back

As a family-owned business, we are proud to be actively involved in the communities we serve, extending our impact beyond business.
At Simba Global, we support local initiatives through product donations, sponsorships, and financial donations, while also offering the use of our common areas and meeting rooms to community groups and not-for-profit organisations.
Our team members are equally passionate, regularly engaging in volunteering and fundraising efforts to lend their time and skills to causes close to their hearts. It’s all part of our commitment to empower communities.

Simba acknowledges and feels deeply indebted to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that have allowed our business to thrive through the years.

We remain committed to the well-being of our First Nations brothers and sisters, and to this effect, we established a three year plus partnership with AIME. AIME has been writing a new story for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth in Australia and other marginalised groups worldwide since 2005. To kick-start Simba’s partnership with AIME, Simba has committed to donate 50,000 hoodies to AIME’s essential work in our communities. This directly supports AIME’s Hoodie Day campaigns, where AIME and partners make space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait youngsters’ artworks and stories to be shared on national and international platforms.

Simba's partnership with AIME

The Simba Steppers!

We were thrilled to see more than 70% of our Australian workforce actively participate in the Starlight Kids Super Step Challenge. Getting together for pre work powerwalks, and getting the most out of the sunshine and spending their lunchbreaks hitting the pavement, the involvement of our team members not only highlighted their commitment to health and teamwork but also their dedication to giving back to the community.
Together, they raised $4,250 to support Starlight Children’s Foundation programs that bring joy and happiness to seriously ill children and their families.

Partnering with Museums Victoria for "Sutr Santati"

Simba was thrilled to partner with Museums Victoria for the exhibition Sutr Santati: Then. Now. Next., celebrating 75 years of India’s independence. The exhibition featured 75 hand-woven textiles by contemporary Indian designers, displaying India’s rich
textile heritage.
As Australia’s leading textile wholesaler, we were proud to support this prestigious exhibition, highlighting the power of fabric in shaping India’s contemporary artistic landscape.

In early 2020, our thoughts turned to the Australian communities that were affected by the national bushfire crisis.

Working with the Salvation Army emergency response team and other charitable organisations, Simba donated and distributed over 10,000 sheets, pillowcases, towels and blankets to affected communities. We also provided sheets and towels to animal emergency shelters for animals impacted by the bushfires. We were humbled to see the generous response from individuals, families and businesses, both locally and globally, and as a family, we also agreed to donate all staff bonuses as direct donations to the Salvation Army to support their frontline efforts. The Simba family sincerely thank the incredible efforts of firefighters, relief organisations, environmental organisations and communities who worked tirelessly to keep people and the environment safe during this challenging time.
