Our company
SCIENCE | QUALITY & COMPLIANCE | RESPONSIBLE SOURCING | ENVIRONMENT | SOCIAL IMPACT
At Healthcare International Research, responsibility means more than reducing our environmental impact. It means taking responsibility for what we develop, how we manufacture it, the evidence behind it, the partners we work with and the impact our products have on the people who use them.
As an international healthcare company, we believe growth and responsibility must go hand in hand.
Our approach is built around five areas: Science, Quality & Compliance, Responsible Sourcing, Environmental Responsibility and Social Impact.
Scientific credibility is fundamental to HIR.
We work with experienced scientists, researchers and technical specialists to develop products grounded in established research while continuing to investigate new ingredients, formulations and applications.
We believe healthcare companies have a responsibility to distinguish credible evidence from marketing hype. Our objective is therefore not simply to develop innovative products, but to build products and brands that consumers, healthcare professionals, retailers and commercial partners can trust.
We operate across multiple international markets, each with different regulatory requirements and standards.
HIR takes a compliance-led approach to product development, manufacturing and market entry. Our products are developed and manufactured within appropriately certified facilities and undergo the testing, documentation and regulatory processes required for the markets in which they are supplied.
We regard regulatory compliance not simply as an obligation, but as one of the foundations of a responsible healthcare business.
Science. Compliance. Efficacy.
These principles guide the way we develop our products and the standards against which we measure ourselves.
Nature plays an important role across both HEMPE and MotherSage.
We use carefully selected plant-derived and functional ingredients and work with suppliers and manufacturing partners who share our expectations around quality, traceability and responsible sourcing.
Where cannabinoids are incorporated into our formulations, they are sourced from legally cultivated industrial hemp and selected according to the regulatory and quality requirements of the relevant market.
We do not knowingly source endangered plant species and seek, wherever commercially and technically practical, to work with responsibly sourced ingredients and materials.
International growth brings environmental responsibility.
We continually consider opportunities to reduce unnecessary materials, packaging and waste throughout product development and manufacturing.
Our existing packaging makes extensive use of recyclable materials including aluminium and glass, and we continue to assess packaging, manufacturing, logistics and supply-chain decisions as the business expands.
As HIR grows internationally, we intend to measure our environmental footprint more comprehensively and use that information to identify meaningful and measurable opportunities for improvement.
Our objective is progress based on evidence rather than environmental claims that cannot be substantiated.
We believe healthcare businesses should ultimately improve people's lives.
Through HEMPE, MotherSage and future HIR innovations, our objective is to develop accessible products that support health, wellbeing and quality of life.
We are particularly interested in areas where physical demands can have a significant impact on everyday wellbeing, including sport, occupational health, physically demanding professions, rehabilitation and veteran communities.
As our organisation grows, we intend to use our products, partnerships, research and commercial reach to contribute positively to the communities in which we operate.
HIR has grown from a British healthcare start-up into an international organisation with operations, commercial relationships and distribution across multiple global markets.
With that growth comes greater responsibility.
Our ambition is significant, but so is our commitment to maintaining the standards on which the company has been built.
We will continue to challenge ourselves and our partners to improve — scientifically, commercially, environmentally and socially — while remaining focused on our core purpose:
developing trusted healthcare products that combine science, regulatory discipline and real-world efficacy.
