An Immediate Impact
On the day Blueprint launched their Good Period washroom dispensers, a member walked up to Christy Chan, Blueprint's Community Assistant, and asked to borrow a pad. Christy had handed over her own period care supplies to members and colleagues in urgent need many times before.
But this time was different: "I was able to tell her about our new project and that she could simply head to the washroom to help herself. You could see she immediately felt relieved and supported."

What Blueprint Decided to Do and Why
Blueprint by Swire Properties is one of Hong Kong's leading co-working spaces.
When they joined as a Good Period Workplace Leader, they not only committed to making organic cotton period products freely available to all members, they opened up the menstrual health conversation across their community too, hosting a Good Period event in their space that explored menstrual health, inclusion, and what it really means to build a workplace that works for everyone (image below).
Of the decision to work with Good Period, Jessica Roberston, Blueprint's Business Development Manager, says: "Good Period treats period products as part of a social mission, not just logistics. They bring education, awareness, and a focus on dignity, which adds real meaning to the partnership."
Why Choice of Partner Matters - Even in Small Decisions
Through Good Period's social enterprise model, Blueprint's procurement spend does two things at once. It takes care of the people in their building, and it funds support for women and girls in need across the city.
Jessica told us: "Choosing a social enterprise mattered because it aligned impact with access. We weren't just buying products, we partnered with Good Period to help address period poverty and challenge stigma, making our support more than a workplace perk."

What They Would Say to Companies Still on the Fence
According to Jessica: "It's not just a washroom cost, it's a workplace enabler. When employees can access what they need, they can focus, feel secure, and avoid unnecessary stress at work. A small operational spend can prevent much bigger hidden costs from potential absences and disengagement."
The products themselves are certified organic cotton pads, in plastic-free wrappers. But as Christy puts it, the products are almost beside the point. She says: "Beyond the convenience, it shows that we are building a truly female-friendly environment. It's a powerful way to spread a mindset of care and inclusivity within the workspace."
