Supporting menstrual dignity through the Pantys partnership

Access to menstrual health remains a challenge for millions of people around the world. Whether it results in missing school or missing work, lacking access to reliable products can have lasting social and economic consequences. Through their partnership, Solvay and Pantys, a global femtech apparel brand, are working to address these barriers while advancing more sustainable solutions. 
 

The partnership between Solvay and Pantys is designed to address menstrual health challenges from several angles. While Pantys develops reusable menstrual products that help people manage their periods with comfort and confidence, Solvay contributes materials innovation through its Amni Soul Eco® technology. 

Beyond the products, the partnership supports education and donation initiatives aimed at expanding access to menstrual health solutions in underserved communities. By combining science, inclusion and measurable social impact, Solvay and Pantys are working to create lasting benefits for people and communities. 

 

Solvay employees in Latin America regularly support initiatives to support social causes (feeding low-income families and the homeless population; removing children from socially vulnerable situations, elevating their self-esteem and inspiring their future goals); protect the environment (reducing pollution and unnecessary waste); and advocate for education (reducing school absenteeism). 

A defining element of the partnership is the use of recognized, independently verified methodologies to assess social outcomes. This structured approach improves transparency, credibility, and long-term value creation. It also aligns with Solvay’s Community & Philanthropy and ESG commitments.
 
By treating social impact just like scientific innovation, Solvay and Pantys are creating a better, more scalable way to tackle global health and inclusion challenges.

This partnership with Solvay represents a new chapter, not just for Pantys, but for how corporations can measure and invest in social impact. We've spent years building real impact for women on the ground, and now we have a way to certify it, scale it, and invite others to be part of it. 

What makes the social credits model truly transformative is that it creates a self-sustaining cycle: as credits are sold on the open market, the revenue flows back to fund and expand our donation programs, reaching more women each year. 

This means we can grow our impact exponentially from thousands of women to hundreds of thousands, while building a financially sustainable engine that continues the work for years to come.

Partnership with the W+ Standard

Since 2023, the Solvay and Pantys partnership has combined product innovation, education, and community engagement to help advance menstrual health and dignity in underserved communities. Now, the partnership is taking the next step: measuring the impact of these efforts through the W+ Standard, an internationally recognized framework focused on women's well-being and empowerment. 

  

Arrastão, a Brazilian non-profit organization focused on education and social inclusion, has been selected as the first organization to begin the certification process. Girls participating in Arrastão programs have received reusable Pantys menstrual underwear made with Solvay's Amni Soul Eco® technology and participated in educational activities designed to promote menstrual health awareness, confidence, and well-being. 

  

Beginning in September 2026, Arrastão will work with W+ experts, Pantys, and Solvay to assess and verify the outcomes of these efforts. The findings will help deepen understanding of the partnership's impact and support future initiatives aimed at improving the lives of women and girls.

In Brazil, we see firsthand how access to menstrual health solutions can make a real difference in everyday life. This partnership lets us build on that work with Pantys, supporting communities in ways that are practical and meaningful.
