doing WELL
HealthPost's humanitarian and environmental programme
The 'doing WELL' philosophy -
|
At HealthPost we believe that the wellness of the individual is always connected to the health of the broader community and the natural environment. As a business, we are focusing increasingly on environmental, cultural and ethical sustainability. We recognise that our customers are conscious not only of price but want to make a purchase that they can feel good about on all levels. It is not enough to BE well, we also need to DO well. |

We'll make a $1.00 donation for every completed web order
Donate one of our dollars to the worthy cause of your choice each time you order!
As of 18th December 2009, HealthPost will donate one dollar for every completed website order to your choice of recipient (from a selection of worthy causes). We'll make the donation, all you need to do is select your preferred cause at checkout. Having selected your delivery option, you'll then be asked to choose which cause you'd like our dollar to be given to. Simply check the box next to the cause you'd like our donation to go to, then continue through checkout as usual. We're keeping a tally and will publish our quarterly donations on this page.
NB: You pay nothing extra for completing this step. All donations are made by HealthPost Ltd from our operating revenue. We're committed to giving something back and we ask you to choose who you'd like our donation to go to as it's your support which makes this possible. Thank you for helping us make a difference.

The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ
Preventing blindness throughout the Pacific.
We are a non profit organisation dedicated to facilitating comprehensive and quality eye care in developing countries. The Foundation is committed to the fundamental human right of health for all and is independent, politically unaligned and secular. We work for a world where no-one is needlessly blind. Our work focuses on the prevention of blindness and restoring sight for people who are blind from cataracts or other disorders. We do this by focusing on training and work force support for eye doctors and nurses across the Pacific, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.

HealthPost Environmental Fund
Neutralising your parcel's carbon footprint.
After investigating options for offsetting our business's carbon emisssions we concluded that, for now at least, we can achieve more 'bang for our buck' by planting trees ourselves than we can by engaging third party carbon offsetting. To this end, we've partnered with Milnthorpe Park Scenic Reserve & Re-Forestation Project - a treasured Golden Bay community asset. An initial planting of 500 rimu trees at the Park was undertaken by HealthPost staff in July 2009.
