Each year we create millions of reusables period panties that are better for our consumers and the planet. By so doing we eliminate millions more disposable sanitary napkins from harming the environment by providing a more sustainable alternative: Each menstruator will use and dispose between 5K-15K disposable pads and tampons in their lifetime

Each year we work with our eco-system of partners to develop recycled functional materials to offer greater sustainable alternatives across our product ranges

Femography donated a total of 99,000 Reusable Period Panties to frontline health workers in Sri Lanka with each donation comprising 8 Reusable Period Panties along with an instruction manual to help guide them through the use and product maintenance process. The donation project, which was spread across multiple locations, also hosted an awareness session on the importance of menstrual hygiene and sustainable alternatives. Our aim was to provide women on the frontlines with a more sustainable option to help manage their menstrual health, given the rising cost of sanitary napkins in the country and the increasing environmental burden of the disposable alternatives available in the market.

In collaboration with the group ‘Girls in STEM’ program, our team spent time with 70 teenagers across 7 girls' schools in Colombo, to share their experiences and work in the FemHygiene space. The young girls selected a FemTech company that inspired them and presented the impact their chosen brands had on society from a wellness and sustainability perspective As an on-going effort our aim is to inspire and elevate the future of women in STEM in Sri Lanka.

With ‘Menopause in the Workplace’ taking center stage and with our mandate to create more awareness, dispelling taboos in women’s health, Femography launched MAS’ first group-wide Menopause Awareness Campaign. Our objective was to walk the talk and kick-start the conversation around the menopause in our own community whilst creating more awareness about a topic little spoken of in the Asian Region.  With an increasing number of women entering the workforce and a majority of the MAS holdings workforce being women, this remains a key focus for Femography. The campaign was launched on the 18th of October 2022, World Menopause Day, and will be a continuing effort together with the wider group.

Femography partnered with the Selyn Foundation on their #Bleedgood program, which aims to empower Sri Lankan women in rural communities to end period poverty through the provision of Reusable Sanitary Pads and awareness of menstrual hygiene and  overall feminine reproductive health.    The programme which was run in small intimate groups, saw a total of 60 women from rural communities, provided with 8 reusable sanitary napkins each. The women also participated in Reproductive Health & Awareness Workshops and received a free health check as part of our efforts to drive greater menstrual equity via smaller communities where the conversation can be further encouraged and fostered.

We partnered with Rainforest Protectors of Sri Lanka to reforest land in the Ratnapura district of Sri Lanka. Our team actively participated in the planting of trees with the collaboration covering an area equivalent to 1.5x our current Femography manufacturing footprint. The project was aimed at enhancing our biodiversity, with deforestation being a significant challenge in the country. The anticipated long-term benefits of the project include:

• Carbon absorption
• Ecosystem service
• Photosynthesis & contribution to the water cycle
• Enhancing biodiversity (i.e., pollinators, pest homes, and crop damage reduction)
• Soil fertility and water holding capacity
