Our ESG Pillars in Practice
Impact on the Planet
Impact on the Planet
We work to promote powerful human health outcomes, driven by our commitment to sustainability for the planet.
Plant-Based Animal Alternative Solutions
Plant-Based Animal Alternative Solutions
Minimizes the need for animal-derived collagen, reducing animal reliance and promoting ethical medical development.
Minimizing Chemical Applications
Minimizing Chemical Applications
Through our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for environmental and biological pest control.
No-Till Farming
No-Till Farming
By practicing conservation tillage, we promote soil health and prevent erosion, reducing the need for fossil fuel-powered machinery while retaining carbon in the soil. The result is minimized greenhouse gas emissions, embracing climate action.
Reduced Land Usage
Reduced Land Usage
By producing collagen from plants instead of animals, we reduce the land required for collagen production, thereby minimizing the strain on natural resources.

Impact on People

We firmly believe a sustainable healthcare and medicine future begins with safer and healthier treatments, positively impacting patient safety, health, and quality of life.

Healthier and Safer Collagen

Derived from tobacco leaves with bio-functionality that leads to faster tissue repair and does not elicit an immune response.

Ensuring a Sustainable Quality of Life

Our 3D bioprinted breast implants offer a safer and regenerative alternative for augmentation and reconstruction. They are designed to provide long lasting performance, aim to reduce waste, and improving patients’ quality of life.

Solving Unmet Medical Needs

Our portfolio of rhCollagen-based Bioinks enables advanced biofabrication of functional tissue models for drug discovery and personalized medicine, offering a superior and ethical alternative to animal testing
while addressing unmet medical needs and driving innovation.

Establishing a Sustainable Demand for Tobacco Plants

Collagen production opens up new economic opportunities for regions historically reliant on tobacco farming. This initiative fosters economic growth and diversification.
