LNER is the first UK train operator to receive a Period Positive Workplace certification.
The certification was awarded by The Period Positive Workplace Coalition, which aim to reach menstrual equality.
LNER were given the certification in recognition of its ‘Package for a Friend’ scheme.
The scheme was launched earlier this year, providing free, organic TOTM period products on board trains and in stations and offices.
The Coalitions research revealed that 80% of respondents had a period start early and having access to free products, largely improved the workplace.
