As a company we are committed to helping dry mouth sufferers improve their oral health through the development of products that genuinely help reduce symptoms and keep mouths comfortable and healthy. But that shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet we occupy.

That’s why we are committed to halving our company emissions by 2030 and making Oralieve totally carbon Net Zero by 2050.

We’ve already made progress across our business:

• The Oralieve head office is solar powered – we have 36 solar panels fitted to the office and over 70% of our energy requirement is fully renewable!
• We have installed energy efficient LED lighting throughout the head office
• All waste is sorted and recycled
• We provide electric car charging facilities on site
• All of our primary and secondary card packaging is from renewable FSC sources and is fully recyclable
• The plastic in our mouthrinse and spray bottles and caps are fully recyclable
• We have reconfigured the cartons of our 75ml toothpaste to reduce the amount of card used whilst increasing the number of units that can be transported on a pallet. Fewer pallets means less transport associated emissions
• All printed promotional materials will use recycled stock and we will minimise the quantities being produced to reduce potential wastage

But we recognise that these steps, whilst a good start, are not enough! As such we will:

• Measure the carbon footprint of the whole business from manufacture to operations and publish these findings by June 2024
• Publish a carbon reduction plan by June 2024
• Work with our tube suppliers to identify fully recyclable or compostable alternatives to existing materials
• Work with our transport partners to identify ways to reduce the carbon emissions associated with transportation of materials and product
