Creating Healthy Products & Organisations
As well as producing healthy products, we want to develop healthy organisations.
We believe that to be healthy, organisations must support the three dimensions of their being – social, economic & cultural. Unless all three are in balance an organisation will not experience true health.
This three-dimensional ethos is reflected in our approach to the products, services, concepts and technologies that we develop.
This is how our three-dimensional approach looks for us:
Economic Health
Nature's Laboratory run a number of healthcare brands & services. These include Herbal Apothecary, home to the widest selection of natural medicines in the UK.
Cultural Health
We contribute to global research projects, and develop services and
technology which aim to help others operate their organisations in a
truly healthy way.
Social Health
We provide support for social initiatives such as Common Cause, a not-for-profit community interest company which exists to help people explore their whole health. More about social health.
What Do We Do at Nature's Laboratory?
Our committment to creating an organisation which operates with economic, social and cultural health provides some insight into the way we run our business. But what is it that we actually do at Nature's Laboratory?
Research
At Nature's Laboratory we invest in research. Our research provides the scientific rationale for the products we develop. We work with a range of research partners, including leading universities, in the UK and around the globe. We also have our own in-house laboratory.
