Social Responsibility

For over 35 years we have helped millions of women across the globe to manage their reproductive health.

We recognise the unique relationship Clearblue® has with women at a life-changing and emotional time.

Supporting charities working to improve women's health

 

We strongly believe in supporting research and education in the area of reproductive health. As well as publishing our own research, we support initiatives with established NGOs.

 

We have partnered with March of Dimes since 2017. This is a US-based charity working in the areas of prenatal health, labour, premature birth, complications of pregnancy, and infant health. They work to educate the public and medical professionals about best practices; support lifesaving research; provide comfort and support to families in NICUs; and advocate for mums and babies.

 

In 2023 we partnered with the National Menopause Foundation. This is a community for women who wish to know more, be inspired and connect with others in order to feel prepared for the changes that comes during the menopause journey.

Making pregnancy test results accessible to more women

Globally, we serve more women in more countries than any other pregnancy test brand.

 

We believe pregnancy test results should be accessible to everyone, so we have a relationship with Be My Eyes to enable blind women to be the first to receive their Clearblue® pregnancy or ovulation test result. Be My Eyes is an app for iOS and android that connects blind and low vision users with sighted volunteers and company representatives through a live video connection.
