Hear from the founders of two sustainable veterinary suppliers: Dr Steph Stubbe from Anipal and Natalie Lippiatt from Hand2Heart.
Listen to their inspiring stories and what led to the creation of their innovative products and sustainable businesses.
Learn how simple choices in your clinics can lead to impactful outcomes to reduce waste.
Nat has a passion for health and emerging health trends. She ran her own brand and creative agency for 20 years, where she worked with health-focussed clients across government departments, global pharmaceutical companies, health-conscious Fast-Moving-Consumer-Goods (FMCG) companies including The a2 Milk Company and Freedom Foods. Her passion projects lay in the work she did in the not-for-profit sector, where she became involved with the Children’s Cancer Foundation and joined the board as a non-executive director for 8 years.
Hand 2 Heart Healthwear began with a desire to reimagine the health apparel industry. They wanted to challenge conventional medical scrubs design to transform ordinary workwear into performance wear with superior style and comfort.
But they also chose to confront an even bigger problem – that of environmental waste – with a commitment to create a range of sustainable scrubs.
Hand 2 Heart is on a mission to reduce the environmental footprint of the health sector by conserving natural resources and minimising waste.
