Our purpose
At Expanscience, we help individuals shape their well-being.
We act to contribute to the well-being of babies and children and to parental peace of mind; we also aim to help individuals suffering from osteoarthritis to continue doing what they love, for as long as possible.
We believe that human well-being cannot be separated from the health of the planet. We want to have a positive impact on the world around us. Although each of us has a role to play, it’s by working together that we’ll meet our goals!
Being a "mission-driven company": a major step towards a positive impact model
We became a “mission-driven company” from December 2021. As a company with a mission, we commit to working toward the common good through our purpose of "helping individuals shape their well-being" and social and environmental objectives:
- Design products and services that are useful to well-being, eco-socio designed and increasingly inspired by nature and living things.
- Contribute to reaching planetary climate goals and to the protection and regeneration of biodiversity.
- Help our employees take an active part in their personal fulfillment and construct a more inclusive and supportive company with them.
- Mobilize our communities and ecosystems to build together business models with a positive impact on society, individuals and their environment.
As a complement to our B Corp certification, it will reinforce our positive impact and commitment to social and environmental performance, while taking into account the interests of our stakeholders.

Our progress in 2022
Our mission report shows the path we followed in 2022 to help individuals shape their well-being, at different stages of their life, remaining mindful of the planetary boundaries.
We are convinced that we must play a role in the transition of society and that well-being is a collective project linked to the health of our planet.
Our impACT roadmap, which we each contribute to on a daily basis, is the path we need to take to meet these statutory objectives and become a company with a positive and regenerative impact.
