People & Community Allies

Gender Pay Gap

We have been measuring and publicly reporting our Gender Pay Gap since 2023, and are making good strides in reducing the gap by 14% over the past year. We are incredibly proud of our 50:50 gender balance in our leadership team and our majority-female manufacturing and R&D workforce as well as our commitment to fairness and transparency in our performance processes.

DE&I

We conduct an annual survey on self-declaration, voice, and inclusion, using minority group feedback to guide our priorities. A dedicated community holds regular meetings to address concerns, and we organize "Lunch & Learns" to promote inclusivity. To reduce bias, we're updating core people processes, including removing gendered language from role descriptions.

Social Impact

Proudly collaborating, volunteering or donating to charities and nonprofits which our customers, our employees, our founder and our professional network feel most passionate about, with every purchase made on our UK website directly contributing towards funding material positive impacts.

Volunteering

Every employee benefits of two days of paid volunteering, which they can take alongside their team with charities supported by Medik8, or to support a passion in their personal life. We aim to volunteer at least 500h each year.

Our Charities of Choice

Stemettes Futures

As a scientist-founded skincare brand passionate about our craft and DE&I in our industry, we’re very proud to partner with Stemette Futures, an award-winning social enterprise which inspires and encourages girls, young women, and non-binary individuals aged 5-25 into Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths (STEAM) careers. By choosing to support them, you’ll help to fund industry-recognised STEAM certifications, opening doors for underrepresented talent and diverse future leaders in the field we know and love.

Trees for Cities

We believe every business, no matter how big or small, must act on climate change. While we’re on a mission to Net Zero by 2040 and driving change within our own operations, we also want to empower our customers to make a difference. That’s why we’re working with Trees for Cities; to transform urban spaces into healthier, greener environments, and reduce pollution and carbon. With your help, we’re aiming to plant 320 trees this year, creating greener, happier and healthier places to live

Wellbeing of Women

We know the power of great skin to transform confidence (our customers tell us so!), but that cannot be true if our health and wellbeing is compromised. By partnering with Wellbeing of Women, an organisation pioneering scientific research in women’s health we’re supporting a future where every single woman has access to high-quality and accurate healthcare and information. Help us fund 12 weeks of research this year and we can make that future come to life sooner.

Sebby's Corner

As a family-founded local business, community was always at the core of our values. When we chose to support Sebby’s Corner as a charity local to our Hertfordshire HQ, they became part of our community too. We already support them through volunteering, financial and product donations, but now our customers can also be part of their mission to ensure ‘no child goes without’. We’re aiming to fund 1300 hygiene kits for children in difficult circumstances for Sebby’s Corner to distribute this year.
