Corporate Statement
Phyterra is committed to healthy living by focusing on developing and providing quality products that help prevent serious disease. We strive to contribute to the improvement of health and wellness in the world, to minimize our impact on the environment, to conduct business in an ethical and socially responsible manner and to continually demonstrate respect and care for our employees and the communities in which we work and live.
While we recognize and value the seriousness of our responsibilities we also recognize the peace of mind and joy our products provide so we will constantly work to improve your experience with our company and our products.
The core value to winemakers in our yeast line is the elimination of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) during the fermentation process. H2S is a well-recognized, widespread and consistent problem in wine production. It occurs unpredictably as a distinctly unpleasant odour resembling rotten eggs - a quality defect that can render a wine product unsalable if not treated.
Current methods of resolution used by the wine industry are largely remedial in nature, implemented once a wine product has already been tainted. Such remediation processes may involve additional production steps that can negatively affect quality and cost. The benefit to winemakers from our Phyterra yeasts is that, by using our product during the fermentation to tackle the H2S problem, it is a preventative strategy -- preventing H2S from occurring in the first place rather than attempting to remove it afterward – Phyterra, Wellness for WinesTM.
Our goal is to be a leader in Corporate Responsibility. We take pride in the progress we have made, and our commitment to continuous improvement. It is our desire to continuously strive to be a responsible and well-run company that delivers consistently superior performance over the long-term, and to improve the quality of life in all of the communities in which our employees work and live.
