Donations
& Donations procedures
When donating goods, Ontex follows the guiding principles below. The donation protocol is only valid for products we have produced. Products such as gloves, which we do not produce, are out of scope as we bring caregivers into contact with our suppliers who can procure the goods for them.
Who we donate to
The donations we make have a local scope and are aimed at vulnerable groups in society. Think about organizations supporting:
- Elderly people in poverty.
- Families having financial difficulties to purchase diapers or femcare products.
- People in refugee camps.
- People who are ill (and their families).
- Homeless people.
Each organization needs to sign a contract with us to ensure the goods arrive at the right place.
If you have a request for personal hygiene products produced by Ontex, please contact:
[email protected]
We ask for your patience. There may be a delay in our response due to the number of requests coming in.

‘Puebla Comparte’ is a charity campaign in Mexico, first launched in 2017. Its goal is to fight hunger and malnutrition in the region by collecting and distributing kilos of rice and beans to those in need. Our legal department at Ontex Mexico wanted to help and launched their own campaign called ‘Ontex Comparte’. We are proud to announce that our colleagues donated 500 kilos of rice and beans to families in need.
Ukraine
