Alongside claims of natural ingredients, consumers are looking for brands that are serious about sustainability. As consumers grow more conscious of their ecological impact, they prioritize eco-friendly choices.
Produced at the Gnosis by Lesaffre Italian plant, MenaQ7® vitamin K2 adheres to the Environmental Management System, ISO 14001, and the Occupational Health and Safety Management System ISO 45001 standards.
After comprehensive assessments, we identified specific steps in our process where improvements can be made to improve energy efficiency. Our ongoing commitment involves substantial investments in sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact. In this piece, we provide an overview of the actions we take to ensure we reduce our ecological footprint effectively.
Our Sustainability Initiatives
- CO2 & Energy Reduction: A core commitment for Gnosis is to reduce our carbon footprint. Through investments in various systems, we recover condensates, minimize purge water, and anticipate a 5% reduction in electricity consumption by 2024.
- Water Reduction: In 2024, a project targeting a 20% reduction in water usage for cooling steam condensate will be implemented. Additionally, we already reuse wastewater to limit freshwater consumption.
- Waste Management: Implementing effective procedures, we actively reduce waste by providing pre-treated waste solvents through distillation, transforming them into secondary raw materials for external manufacturing sites.
Healthier People, Healthier Planet
While MenaQ7® stands out as the clinically proven vitamin K2 as MK-7, our commitment goes beyond efficacy. The brand has long catered to the evolving needs of supplement users: natural origin, vegan-friendly, GMO-free, allergen-free, and with a “free-from” approach to our product development.
Together, MenaQ7®‘s natural profile and Gnosis’ sustainable efforts offer a comprehensive value add, making it an ideal partner for supplement brands committed to a truly holistic approach to health for people and the planet alike.
