Celebrating Empowerment and Equality

On March 8, International Women's Day, Sangi Corporation, a leading company in oral care products such as the top-selling whitening toothpaste series Apagard, has introduced a special site highlighting their commitment to gender equality. This site, titled "What Sangi Envisions for International Women’s Day," aims to foster a world where every woman can shine in their own unique way.

A Meaningful Initiative

Sangi is dedicated to its corporate slogan, "Every day shining with you," which reflects their desire to provide value to every individual and walk alongside them. The launch of the special site serves as a catalyst for reflecting upon women living authentically and the pursuit of a society where everyone is treated equally. The company aims to expand this discussion both internally and externally, promoting actions that contribute to this vision.

Supporting Women’s Futures

The dedicated site showcases various support initiatives that encourage women’s futures, including the introduction of flexible work hours and remote work systems. These measures underscore Sangi's commitment to creating a working environment that respects diverse perspectives and life stages. Additionally, the site features interviews with successful female employees, providing insight into their contributions and experiences within the company.

Embracing Diversity and Empowering Growth

Sangi believes that an environment where employees from varied backgrounds can respect and learn from each other is crucial for the company's sustainable growth.

This principle drives their daily research and product development, ensuring they continue to innovate while fostering a supportive workplace culture. Sangi remains committed to promoting gender equality and respecting diversity through their corporate activities, contributing towards a society where everyone can shine.

Understanding International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day, celebrated annually on March 8, honors women's rights and advancement, prompting discussions about gender equality for all. It traces its origins back to a demonstration for women's suffrage in New York in 1904 and was officially recognized by the UN in 1975. This day is closely related to SDG Goal 5, which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower women globally.

A Message from Roslyn Heyman, CEO of Sangi Corporation

"To all women who shine and thrive, I wish to extend my support. When I began my career in the 1970s, opportunities for women were severely limited, and job listings were gendered. Now, it is remarkable to witness an increase in opportunities for women across various fields. I wholeheartedly support all women who dream and shine in their unique ways!"

The Strength of Hydroxyapatite

Sangi, often referred to as the 'Apatite Company,' focuses on researching hydroxyapatite, a substance that is crucial for dental and bone health. As an innovative enterprise specializing in the application of this material, Sangi prioritizes product development while outsourcing manufacturing, allowing them to concentrate on turning ideas into reality. Hydroxyapatite’s versatility allows Sangi to explore various applications across dental materials, antibacterial agents, skincare, and food products.

Founded in 1974, Sangi is approaching its 50th anniversary in 2024. The company pioneered the development of toothpaste with hydroxyapatite in the 1980s and introduced the world’s first remineralizing toothpaste in 1993. Sangi’s journey includes expanding its products globally since 2011 to countries such as Russia, Canada, China, and across the EU. Their commitment to innovation remains steadfast as they continue to elevate the standards of oral care and skincare.
