A Company that Cares
BRIO /brēō/, noun: strength, spirit, life, action, passion, energy. True to our name, we are passionate about our formulations and energized by our commitment to make a difference in people's lives and around the world by fundamentally changing health, healing, and disinfection through education and distribution of BrioHOCl® and through our humanitarian division, BrioEarth™.
BrioEarth™ is a philanthropic organization, namely focused on the welfare of underserved children, at-risk women, animals in need, and those affected by racial and economic inequality, that provides charitable donations, services, and other support to charitable projects, causes, and groups with initiatives for public good, quality of life, and that aim to promote awareness of early intervention solutions surrounding disease prevention, wound care, and sanitation.
Culture of Goodwill
Working to establish a humanitarian arm within Briotech was always a major focus of its founders, Dan Terry and Cynthia Varela, and since its inception in 2010, this foundational work of creating a company culture of goodwill is seen through the numerous product donations Briotech made to various charities and disaster relief efforts in those early years. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, BrioEarth™ was formally founded as the humanitarian division of Briotech in May of 2020 to provide urgent response to individuals and communities in need.
Disaster & Pandemic Response
Since Briotech’s initial call for assistance to donate BrioHOCl® product for relief efforts during the 2014 Hurricane Odile in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, BrioEarth™ has carried on the company’s tradition of making HOCl universally available for all who need and can benefit from it through donations of personal care, cosmetic, and sanitizing products.
Distribution reach in response to disaster and pandemic crises within the U.S. and internationally, includes medical support staff within refugee camps, first responders and tribal nations during the COVID-19 crisis, displaced individuals and sanitation recovery work within earthquake and hurricane disaster zones, firefighters and wildfire animal rescue associations, and public servants in the health and scientific sector of infectious disease outbreak.
Joining Forces
BrioEarth™ believes that when we work together, we are most effective. With this mantra fueling the common purpose collaborative work with others of shared values, we join forces with the private sector, communities, government, academia, institutions, and other foundations to make great things happen.
When you do something with soul, creativity, or love, you put a piece of yourself into what you’re doing. This is the definition of Meraki, and it is engrained in the foundation of our culture.
Collaborations
We facilitate a venue for innovative strategizing that improves alignment through discussion, cooperation, learning, and distribution of goods & services through donations, contracts, and relationships. BrioEarth™ has teamed up with organizations that aid & house the homeless, save & support victims of human trafficking, provide education & therapies to children of diverse abilities, and with research institutes and universities. They include the Build A Bus Home Mobile Shower & Hygiene Program, the Earth Homes Micro Housing Project, the Free to Fly organization, Kindering, the University of Washington | Bothell School of STEM, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH-NAID).
