Athana's values and commitments: Towards ethical and responsible innovation
Share
At Athana , our mission is to provide you with non-invasive and effective solutions to relieve hot flashes , day and night. We know how uncomfortable these moments can be, which is why we have developed products that accompany you, without compromising on comfort and ease of use.
Our goal is simple: to help you live better every day by offering you solutions that adapt to your daily life, while respecting the environment and the people who participate in this adventure with us.
Now let’s see how we put these values into practice through our products.
A commitment to ethical manufacturing
From the start, we made a strong decision: to manufacture our products in France . This allows us to reduce our ecological footprint while supporting the local economy .
Our Hera device , designed to relieve hot flashes, is partially made from recycled plastic , a choice that allows us to reduce plastic waste without compromising the robustness of our products. For us, every little gesture counts to reduce our impact .
Furthermore, our hulls are manufactured by French industrial molds . However, this choice has led to some logistical challenges, including delivery delays linked to our French manufacturing.
But for us, it was essential to favor this responsible path, even if it sometimes involves adjustments to our deadlines. Despite the delivery delays, which are now over, we are happy to be able to work, create, assemble and employ in France , in Maine-et-Loire. (The factory is running at full capacity!)
Social inclusion: Our partnership with the Amipi foundation
Our second commitment was to collaborate with the Amipi Foundation to design our devices in the Cholet factory, which employs 80% adults with disabilities . This partnership not only allows us to guarantee a quality product by controlling our local production , but also to contribute to a rewarding social approach: reintegrating people with disabilities into the job market. We regularly have the opportunity to visit the newly renovated factory, observe our three assembly stations in action, and chat with the entire team.
Hera and Moona: Two complementary solutions for your well-being
Our main mission is to help you in your everyday life by offering devices that promote your well-being. Indeed, the Héra device uses cryotherapy to naturally relieve hot flashes.
Simply place the cold part of the device on heat-sensitive areas of the body, such as the wrists or neck, to feel instant relief.
This simple gesture allows you to continue your day serenely, even when faced with sudden hot flashes.
For its part, the Moona connected pillow is designed to improve your sleeping comfort and relieve night sweats . Thanks to intelligent temperature regulation, it helps you create an ideal sleeping environment. Simply connect the pillow via the application, place it in your bed, and enjoy a peaceful night. Moona will soon be available again to offer you a pleasant and restful sleep.As you have understood, we have managed to combine respect for our values with the production of our devices. It was not easy, but we did it!
At Athana, we firmly believe that innovation can and must be ethical . Every step, every choice we make is guided by our desire to offer effective solutions, while respecting people and the environment. Together, we continue to move forward, take on challenges, and offer products that bring you well-being every day.
