Why Menstrual Health?

Many think menstrual health includes only menstruation. In reality, it refers to the daily hormonal cycle that affects energy, wellbeing and productivity for the entire career-span of half your workforce — from periods to menopause.

According to The World Economic Forum: “Menstrual health – including access to information, facilities and stigma-free environments in relation to the menstrual cycle – is critical for gender equality and advancing multiple SDGs.”

While research into the true economic impact of these issues is lacking in Hong Kong and Asia more broadly, studies in the UK show that menstrual and menopause symptoms cost the economy £11 billion a year in absenteeism alone; in the US, $26 billion.

With 83% of professional women in Hong Kong reporting symptoms that affect their work, the cost here likely runs into the billions too, and for managers, this impact lands within your team.

Conventional menstrual products are among the most polluting single-use plastics in circulation, with 12 billion pads and 25 billion tampons used annually, generating roughly 245,000 tonnes of CO2 and substantial plastic waste. Sustainable organic and reusable options exist, but stigma and cultural taboos hinder adoption.

Stigma and a lack of quality menstrual health facilities in schools are significant barriers to education. In our work with The Zubin Foundation in Hong Kong, we reduced school absenteeism by 82% through improved access to menstrual products and education around the menstrual cycle.

UNICEF says: "Addressing menstrual health means addressing one of the most consequential and least visible drivers of educational inequality for girls worldwide."

According the the World Economic Forum: "Menstrual health is closely tied to gender equality as the menstruation experience is shaped by social, economic and structural inequalities. Menstrual stigma reinforces negative gender stereotypes and norms and perpetuates harassment and discrimination."

Menstrual health affects half the world's population for the majority of their lives, yet it remains chronically under-resourced and poorly understood. Conditions including endometriosis, PCOS, dysmenorrhea and perimenopause affect millions of women and are routinely dismissed, misdiagnosed or left untreated. Menstrual health is not a niche concern. It is a mainstream public health priority.

"I feel the company is more caring and recognizes menstrual health as an important enabler for women to thrive."

How we work

Based in Hong Kong, we're an award-winning team of social entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and creatives building a new model of purpose-driven procurement; one we believe can change our city, and the world, for the better.

Inclusive Facilities

First, we supply your workspaces with ESG-compliant menstrual products — organic cotton, plastic-free packaging, sourced from B Corp certified suppliers.

It sounds simple. It is.

But when someone walks into a washroom in an urgent situation and finds what they need provided without asking, it does something companies spend millions every year trying to show: We thought of you.

Team Education

Then, for companies ready to go deeper, we deliver expert-led training on periods, hormonal health, chronic conditions and perimenopause, equipping HR leads and managers with the knowledge and language to act with confidence.

Not a one-off lunch-and-learn. Consistent education that keeps your team ahead of shifting compliance and changes how people talk to each other, support each other, and lead.

Impact & Storytelling

Finally, profits from Steps 1 and 2 are reinvested to support underserved women and girls in the communities where your company operates.

We then help you tell that story through your annual Pulse survey, employee storytelling, and inclusion in our annual impact campaign. Credible, measurable social proof for your ESG report. And content your people will actually feel proud to share.

100% For-Purpose

Good Period is built on a simple belief: lasting social and environmental change will come from better business models, not more donations.

That’s why, through our 100% For-Purpose model, every dollar of profit after costs is reinvested into our social mission — starting in the communities where our workplace partners operate.
