Our Commitment to a Better Cycle.

At OVO, we believe that women’s health and planetary health are deeply connected. Every pad we make, every partnership we form, and every tree we plant reflects our mission to create a future where care for self and care for the Earth coexist.

As part of 149 Technologies- the parent company, OVO, aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)- a universal blueprint for a sustainable, equitable world. From improving menstrual hygiene and education to reducing plastic waste and promoting clean water access, our initiatives turn everyday cycles into meaningful change.

Healthy women. Healthier communities.

Through collaborations with EcoVision in Zimbabwe and Jagathi Foundation in India, we work to enhance hygiene education, access to clean water, and health awareness in underserved communities. We support menstrual health programs in schools, ensuring young girls grow up informed, confident, and empowered to care for their bodies safely and sustainably.

Key initiatives:

  • Water purification and monitoring projects in schools. 
  • Menstrual health and hygiene education across eight Indian states.
  • Distribution of OVO’s certified & toxin or chemical-free menstrual pads in low-resource areas.


Empowering women through education and opportunity.

We see menstrual health as a right, not a privilege. OVO’s programs with the Jagathi Foundation aim to break stigmas,  improve awareness, and provide sustainable menstrual supplies in schools. Beyond products, OVO opens avenues for women to become educators, entrepreneurs, and advocates for change within their own communities.

Key initiatives:

  • Menstrual health education workshops for girls and women.
  • Creation of income-generating opportunities through OVO’s local distribution models.
  • Publishing accessible resources on reproductive and menstrual health.

Clean water, clear choices.

Through EcoVision, we help bring safe drinking water and hygiene education to schools and communities in Zimbabwe. Our goal is to make access to clean water and sanitation a standard, not a struggle.

Key initiatives:

  • Supporting the development of a national water quality database in Zimbabwe.
  • Installing water filtration systems and training local water clubs.
  • Promoting hygiene education in schools to reduce contamination and disease.

Less waste. More wisdom.

Every OVO product is crafted to minimise environmental harm, made from bamboo-based, USDA Certified Biobased, and industrially compostable materials (EN 13432:2000). By choosing OVO, you help reduce urban waste and promote better waste management practices.

Key initiatives:

  • Eliminating plastic waste from menstrual hygiene products.
  • Conducting lifecycle analyses to measure and improve environmental performance.
  • Encouraging responsible disposal through community education.

Sustainability by design.

We partner with corporations to make sustainable menstruation part of their ESG commitments. Through our collaboration with EcoMatcher, we offer tree-planting initiatives that balance production with restoration, closing the loop on consumption.

Key initiatives:

  • B2B programs that integrate OVO pads into corporate sustainability policies.
  • Tree-planting offsets via EcoMatcher for every corporate purchase.
  • Transparent reporting of sustainability metrics and carbon offsets.

Oceans without plastic.

Plastic-free periods mean cleaner oceans. OVO pads are free of plastics and microplastics that often pollute waterways. Through our educational content, we raise awareness about marine pollution and empower conscious consumption.

Key initiatives:

  • Preventing plastic and microplastic waste from entering waterways.
  • Publishing educational content on marine health and pollution.
  • Tracking the volume of plastic avoided through OVO use.

Every cycle plants a seed.

Through our partnership with EcoMatcher, OVO plants real, traceable trees around the world. Each purchase contributes to reforestation, carbon offsetting, and biodiversity restoration. It’s how we give back to the planet that gives to us.

Key initiatives:

  • Global tree-planting and reforestation projects.
  • Transparent, trackable carbon offsetting for individuals and companies.
  • Supporting biodiversity through sustainable forestry partnerships.

Together, we grow stronger.

149 Technologies, OVO’s parent organisation, builds bridges between innovators in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and global markets. By sharing services, funding access, and technical expertise, we accelerate the growth of women’s health innovations that the world needs.

Key initiatives:
