The Red Paper

The Absolute State of the Workplace

"We fundamentally believe that period products are a basic human need & should be treated like toilet paper. That means readily available whenever & wherever they're needed.

Which is why we are supporting corporates & facilities teams in creating an inclusive environment within the workplace while also contributing to their sustainability agendas."
