Sustainability
At Covestus Healthcare, we believe consumer healthcare should improve people’s lives without creating unnecessary cost to the planet, people or communities around us.
We are building a portfolio of brands with a practical, responsible approach to growth, from better packaging choices and more thoughtful raw material sourcing, to stronger supplier partnerships and clearer environmental commitments.
This is not about making big claims before the work is done. It is about making better decisions, improving where we can, and holding ourselves accountable as we grow.
Our sustainability approach
Our mission
To build consumer healthcare brands that make everyday health and wellbeing more accessible, without compromising our responsibility to the planet, people and animals.
Our approach
We focus on practical progress across packaging, ingredients, suppliers and partnerships, prioritising actions that can be built into the way our brands operate.
Our commitment
We aim to reduce waste, improve transparency, support ethical supply chains and work towards more sustainable solutions across our portfolio.
Packaging with less waste and more purpose
Packaging is one of the clearest areas where consumer brands can make better choices. Across our portfolio, we aim to reduce unnecessary packaging, improve recyclability and use more responsible materials wherever commercially and operationally possible.
Reduce virgin plastic where suitable alternatives exist
Minimise excessive packaging where it does not add value
Avoid black plastic and difficult-to-recycle materials
Use FSC-certified board where appropriate
Improve clarity around recycling and disposal guidance
Work with suppliers to explore recyclable, recycled or bio-sourced materials
More responsible ingredient choices
We want our products to be effective, safe and responsibly made. That means looking beyond the finished product and considering how ingredients are produced, harvested and supplied.
Use ingredients that do not knowingly endanger ecosystems
Work with suppliers who support ethical trading and sustainability standards
Consider the environmental impact of raw material sourcing
Prioritise transparency where possible
Support recognised organisations and standards where relevant
Building better partnerships
We work with manufacturers, suppliers and partners who can help us improve the way our products are made. Our aim is to build long-term relationships that support quality, responsibility and continuous improvement
Encourage more efficient use of energy, water and materials
Work towards reduced manufacturing waste
Support suppliers with recognised ethical or sustainability credentials
Build partnerships that help us improve packaging and production choices
Review opportunities for circular solutions where possible
Our pledge
Sustainability is a journey, not a single claim. As Covestus grows, we will continue to review our products, packaging, suppliers and operations to identify better ways of working.
Our pledge is to make responsible decisions where we can, be honest about where we are still improving, and build brands that contribute positively to people, communities and the planet.
