From Grassroots Movement to a Socially-Driven Business Redefining Inclusion and Menstrual Equity in the Workplace
Join us for an inspiring live conversation with Olivia Cotes-James, award-winning social entrepreneur and founder of Good Period and LUÜNA. Based in Hong Kong, Olivia has turned a grassroots community movement into a socially-driven business that’s transforming workplace cultures across Asia, challenging stigma, promoting sustainability, and making menstrual health a core part of diversity and inclusion.
Through LUÜNA, Olivia pioneered sustainable menstrual products that address health and environmental impacts. Building on this foundation, she launched Good Period — a social impact initiative uniting workplaces, communities, and individuals to end period inequality. By partnering with leading companies, Good Period ensures menstrual equity is embedded in workplace culture, while reinvesting profits into programs that expand access to reusable menstrual care across local communities.
This conversation will explore how personal adversity fuels social impact, lessons from scaling purpose-led ventures, and how organizations can champion menstrual equity, sustainability, and inclusion. Whether you're building a team or shaping corporate culture, Olivia’s story will inspire you to turn personal challenges into collective progress.
