Ethics
We aren’t perfect, but since you asked, here’s how we are trying to get into heaven (note: we are not certain there is a heaven but it would be nice if there was one, because that would mean you didn’t just die and face eternal blackness).
- Everything we do should actually help people.
If we don’t think that our product does some good by its existence then we have no business making it.
- We should lead ecological change by example
Packaging in healthcare is terrible. It looks bad and it is full of nasty plastics that are made from oil and take centuries to disappear. We are trying to show people how to make very nice packaging from other kinds of materials. We make our signature molded packaging from recycled paper pulp. It’s a very clever material that is both made in part from recycled materials and is compostable. We still have to use some plastic around the pills, but we don’t want to and we are working with the FDA to change this.
- We should source and manufacture products ethically
All of our products come from the USA. In fact right now all our products are packed together at a factory in Upstate New York which help adults with learning disabilities. They have promised to employ us if our company goes down the tubes.
- We should give some of our money back.
There is no sense in making money if you aren’t going to spend it on things you like. 5% of our profits are returned to charities that help people without healthcare get healthcare.
