We are committed to integrate sustainability in the management of our value chain, as a result our sustainability program for suppliers was created. Said program seeks to promote good practices, cooperation and continuous improvement among the members of our supply chain.

This program applies to our suppliers of raw materials, packaging material, maquilas (finished product) and transportation (logistics), in order to reduce any potential risk and strengthen our relationships of trust, honesty and integrity.

The program consists of 3 phases:

• Information: Read and sign the Code of Conduct and Ethics for Suppliers.
  • Evaluation: Self-evaluation in Social Responsibility and Sustainability.
    • Training

Since 2010, we have maintained a strategic partnership with La Joya del Campo S.A. de C.V., a community supplier. This supplier harvests and markets guayaba leaves (Psidium Guajava) in the Totonaca farming communities of Veracruz as part of its production model. Quercetin, is the active ingredient in our QG5® product to treat colitis, is obtained from this raw material.

During 2020, guayaba leaf production was reduced as a result of increased rainfall in the area, which is why, during 2021, we purchased a large volume (27 tons) of this raw material to supply production for the year and have a reserve in case of a possible shortage. For this reason, the volume of guayaba leaf purchased during 2022 was lower (9 tons). With this, we reaffirm our commitment to the economic development of Totonaca communities.

We are a Mexican company, with presence in more than 18 countries in America, committed to promote legality, ethics, responsibility and the common wealth. We seek to offer products that improve the quality of life of our consumers, simultaneously integrating elements that have an environmental and social benefit.

For this reason, according to our Sustainability model, Integrity Policies, care and protection of biodiversity, we do NOT conduct tests or studies on animals to obtain data on the efficacy and safety of our products, and we promote the use of raw materials, materials and processes that are aligned with this condition.

According to our Sustainability Strategy 2025, we have implemented several actions to contribute to the care of the planet, mitigate climate change, promote the circular economy and reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse activities.
