Ethics

General ethos of LA Muscle

LA Muscle uses:

The very best raw ingredients - We use Pharmaceutical Grade raw ingredients.
Scientists and food technologists - very few nutritional-supplement companies use these professional throughout the company.
Trained nutritionists and sales advisors - We do not hire temps or inexperienced/immature individuals. All staff are mature and fully trained.
Precise methods of manufacturing, transportation and storage for optimal product integrity.
Careful couriers - We use the best to ensure prompt and efficient deliveries.

Reducing carbon footprint

These days there is a lot of talk about reducing your carbon footprint, being more green and helping the environment. LA Muscle has always tried to be as green as possible without compromising the quality of its products. We have not broadcast this out to the world because it is something that we undertook years ago as a matter of course and not a publicity exercise.

LA Muscle started manufacturing locally a few years back. We have done this in several countries as much as possible, without compromising the potency of products. This enables us to give you fresher products and drastically off-set our carbon footprint due to the way goods are transported. Instead of a planeload of products crossing the Atlantic, we have a delivery by a truck from a few miles away.

Whenever we ship anything by plane, we insist on using scheduled flights.

Recycling

LA Muscle uses recycled materials where possible and where available. This goes for paper, cardboard, plastics and glass. We started one of the first commercial recycling initiatives in our area at our London headquarters. Commercial recycling is not cheap and most companies do not do it as they don't need to. LA Muscle pays for recycling. We have also encouraged our neighbours in London to join in the initiative - that's 24 other companies! We urge recipients of emails to not print them where possible.

LA Muscle encourages you to recycle its products. In the first ever initiative of its kind, LA Muscle will collect its plastic tubs from you free of charge and recycle them for you. This is a free service if you have 10 or more tubs.

You can call 0044 2089651177 to arrange a collection.

Water & Light

LA Muscle uses dry tabletting for its manufacturing process. We also use water sparingly in all our headquarters worldwide. We encourage you to use water sparingly as the world's resources are limited and availability should not be taken for granted.

LA Muscle also pays very close attention to lighting and we use low energy lighting where possible.

Business transport

LA Muscle has reduced travelling for all its senior directors and managers as much as practicable. If we can do something via conference call or email, this is what we do. We travel transatlantic as little as possible and we encourage car sharing and walking as much as possible for all staff.

Supporting sports and sportspersons

Since the early days, we have always put a substantial amount of money back into the industry. This has been through sponsoring individuals or events. In many cases sponsoring a show costs several thousand pounds and the returns are minimal. LA Muscle has continued show sponsorship as this is often the "only" way an event can take place enabling athletes and body builders to compete.

The Active Channel

A massive, global project enabling sports persons from around the world to showcase their talents. Again we have opted to hire local camera crews as opposed to making them travel by plane.

Charities

LA Muscle has been contributing to various charities over the years. We have not publicised this because it can be viewed as somewhat cheesy or a "publicity stunt" by some people. However, over the years we have had people ask the question so below is a list of some of the charities LA Muscle contributes to on a monthly basis:

Hopefully the above has given you a clearer understanding of LA Muscle's philosophy. Whilst we are a commercial company, we also are aware of global problems and try and do our best to reduce or off-set carbon footprint and contribute to a better world.
