Acton is incredibly proud to have achieved B Corp certification.
This significant milestone reflects who we are as a business and how we choose to operate. B Corp Certification recognises companies that meet the highest verified and independent levels of transparency and accountability on their social and environmental performance, governance and accountability and we’re proud to be part of this global community.
As a family-owned New Zealand business, we've always believed in looking after our people, acting with integrity, respecting our environment, and creating positive outcomes for our customers and communities. Becoming B Corp certified is a natural extension of these values and demonstrates our commitment to using business as a force for good.
While the certification recognises much of what we already do, it also provides a framework to continue to find new ways to create positive outcomes for our people, communities, customers, and the environment.
Golden Sun has unveiled a fresh new look, bringing a warmer, more personable feel to the brand while staying true to what our customers already love. Known for its wide range of gherkins, jalapeños, chilli sauces, and canned fruits and vegetables, Golden Sun has evolved its identity to better reflect the joy and flavour it delivers in every jar, bottle or can.
The updated design introduces softer, more inviting colours alongside playful characters that add a sense of fun. At the heart of it all, the iconic bright yellow remains - instantly recognisable and as bold as ever.
This new look isn’t just about appearance; it’s about connecting more closely with the people who reach for Golden Sun every day. The new look is designed to feel friendlier, more conversational, and a little bit cheeky - just like the products themselves.
Whether you’re layering a bit of jalapeño heat onto your favourite dish or adding a tangy crunch with gherkins, Golden Sun wants to be part of those everyday moments. Find the new look in store today!
