Our purpose

At Expanscience, we help individuals shape their well-being.

We act to contribute to the well-being of babies and children and to parental peace of mind; we also aim to help individuals suffering from osteoarthritis to continue doing what they love, for as long as possible.

We believe that human well-being cannot be separated from the health of the planet. We want to have a positive impact on the world around us. Although each of us has a role to play, it’s by working together that we’ll meet our goals!

Being a "mission-driven company": a major step towards a positive impact model

 

We became a “mission-driven company” from December 2021. As a company with a mission, we commit to working toward the common good through our purpose of "helping individuals shape their well-being" and social and environmental objectives:

  • Design products and services that are useful to well-being, eco-socio designed and increasingly inspired by nature and living things.
  • Contribute to reaching planetary climate goals and to the protection and regeneration of biodiversity.
  • Help our employees take an active part in their personal fulfillment and construct a more inclusive and supportive company with them.
  • Mobilize our communities and ecosystems to build together business models with a positive impact on society, individuals and their environment. 

As a complement to our B Corp certification, it will reinforce our positive impact and commitment to social and environmental performance, while taking into account the interests of our stakeholders.

Cultivate our family-owned, independent, B corp company model

We cultivate our model of a family-owned, independent company that is anchored locally and proud of its “Made in France” heritage, while being open to the world.

Our responsible supply chain in Peru with Deshidratados Tropicales Avocado, maracuja and maca are part of the composition of many Expanscience products and active ingredients. These raw materials come from sustainable, fair-trade crops, most notably in Peru. Sourcing and the transformation of these raw materials are ensured by Deshidratados Tropicales, our local implantation. In this way, we control the entire supply chain and reduce our environmental and social impact. #SustainableCrop Protection of local biodiversity Combat deforestation #Employment: 350 avocado producers supported by our activity in Peru #EconomicDevelopment Sustainable crops thanks to a long-term commitment Fair prices for producers To learn more about other actions, go to the “Our Purpose” page !
