We place the consumer at the heart of every decision we make. Consumer feedback alongside our scientific expertise helps us to uncover hygiene solutions that make a significant difference to people’s lives – people like you, and us.
Building hygiene foundations around the world is something we are very passionate about – we want to make a difference to the lives of all global citizens through the power of education. By accelerating hygiene foundations, we can deliver powerful and innovative solutions for all.
However, no one company can do this alone. It takes an ecosystem of the brightest minds. Therefore, partnerships are critical to our success. By collaborating with our partners, we can fast-track the delivery of our vision and empower our purpose-driven organisation.

Plastic, packaging
and waste
Plastic has proved itself one of the most versatile materials ever invented thanks to its light weight, flexibility, durability, resistance to moisture, and relative low-cost.
But one of the unintended consequences of its widespread use is that it causes enormous environmental damage. It takes a long time for plastics to break down – or biodegrade – which is contributing to a mounting issue that has become a systemic, global problem.
As a company, we try to reduce our packaging as much as possible, eliminating waste wherever we can through innovation.
