Eagle Protect is a privately owned company established in 2006. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand and California, USA, we work internationally distributing single-use consumables to the food and medical sectors. These include latex and nitrile gloves, disposable non-woven clothing and PE protective wear.Our products not only provide protection to people in a range of different fields, particularly the food processing/preparation, medical, automotive, cleaning and beauty industries. But we also protect the reputation of our clients, by ensuring the products we sell are ethically sourced and carefully manufactured in factories we personally visit and inspect.Although our products provide necessary protection in this busy, dirty world, we do recognise that single use products have an impact on our environment. We continuously look for ways to reduce waste by changing the packing process, using new technologies and improving processes.I visit our suppliers every year to see how we can make positive changes. We regularly spend time with clients to help them maximize efficiencies and cut waste. In 2012, Eagle Protect became the first New Zealand B Corp and I am an active member of the B Corp community. The B Corp accreditation framework gave us the structure to build a company that was both profitable and sought to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible. We were successfully re-accredited in 2014, and in 2015 we became incorporated as a Benefit Corporation in the US based in South Lake Tahoe. Using business as a force for good is absolutely central to Eagle. We are keen to grow and improve our business, eager to find different ways to reduce, reuse and recycle. If you have new techniques, technology and products that could help, please get in touch. I’m also keen to connect with other B Corp members and those interested in using business as a force for good.

Listed skills include Business Strategy, Strategic Planning, Product Development, Marketing Strategy, and 14 others.
