Why Certifications Matter?

In today’s world, offering free period products in the workplace is no longer a perk, it’s an expectation. But simply providing any product isn’t enough. Businesses looking to implement free period products need to also consider, employee well-being and social responsibility – and the certifications behind those product choices.  

Here at Selenei, we hold ourselves to the highest standards, and our certifications are a testament to that commitment. Let’s explore why these certifications matter for businesses offering free period products: 

Transparency and Trust: GOTS & ICEA 

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA) provide independent verification of our practices. What does this mean? Well it means that the certifications that we label on our period care products guarantee: 

• Responsible Sourcing: From seed to finished product, GOTS ensures our organic cotton is grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides. ICEA goes a step further, evaluating our entire supply chain for ethical labour practices and environmentally friendly manufacturing. 

• Sustainable Production: Both certifications ensure our production processes minimise waste, water usage and energy consumption. 

• Chemical-Free Products: These certifications give you peace of mind knowing Selenei products are free from harsh chemicals and irritants, ideal for sensitive skin. 

As a business choosing GOTS and ICEA-certified Selenei products, you’re demonstrating a commitment to transparency and offering customers and employees a product they can trust. 

Ethical Sourcing: The Vegan Trademark & The Seal of Cotton 

The Vegan Trademark, awarded by the Vegan Society, guarantees no animal products are used in Selenei products or production. The Seal of Cotton verifies our cotton meets the highest ecological and social criteria for organic cotton production.   

These certifications showcase your commitment to: 

Ethical Sourcing: You’re providing employees with period care that aligns with vegan principles and avoids animal-derived materials. 

Sustainable Agriculture: The Seal of Cotton ensures the cotton used in Selenei products is grown according to strict environmental and social standards. 

Environmental Responsibility: The Mobius Loop 

The Mobius Loop symbol signifies that our packaging is recyclable. We have carefully sourced packaging made from recycled content.  

Choosing Selenei with the Mobius Loop demonstrates your dedication to: 

• Waste Reduction: Our recyclable packaging minimises landfill waste and promotes a circular economy. 

• Resource Conservation: By using recycled materials, we’re conserving precious resources for the future. 

So, to answer the question of Why Certifications Matter… 

Industry certifications are more than just logos you see on the side of our packaging, they are badges of honour and a powerful way to communicate our values and commitment to social responsibility.   

By offering Selenei products with these certifications, you can create a workplace with employee well-being, ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility at the heart of what you do. 

Partner with Selenei and show your employees and customer you care – not just about their wellbeing, but about the health of the planet.
