STÖ GROUP AS
Building workplace health infrastructure for a new compliance era.
STÖ Group combines regulated medical devices, distribution channels, privacy-by-design technology and international standards participation to make biological variation manageable as workplace infrastructure — not individual exception handling.
GROUP AT A GLANCE
A Norwegian workplace health infrastructure group.
Combining regulated medical devices, distribution channels, privacy-by-design technology and international standards participation under one group.
Regulated product
CE-marked medical device, Class IIA
Market access
Available in 600+ Norwegian pharmacies
Scale path

Privacy
Infrastructure designed without processing individual health data
WHY NOW
Workplace health is becoming part of governance, documentation and compliance.
New standards, privacy requirements and social reporting expectations are making it insufficient to handle predictable biological needs through ad hoc accommodation. Organisations need infrastructure that can document readiness without exposing individuals.
This shift turns workplace health from an HR and welfare matter into a governance, documentation and compliance matter — opening a market for infrastructure providers that can operate within strict privacy boundaries.
ISO 45010
International standard under development — menstrual and menopausal health in OHS management.
GDPR Art. 9
Strict limits on processing health data. Requires architectural solutions, not exemptions.
Internal control regulation
Norwegian requirement for systematic OHS work and documented readiness.
ESRS S1
EU sustainability reporting on own workforce — requires aggregated, auditable data.
GROUP ARCHITECTURE

INSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY
A standard-setter, not an adopter.
STÖ Group is an active contributor to the development of ISO 45010 — the forthcoming international standard for menstrual and menopausal health in OHS management systems. The work is carried out through ISO/TC 283, Working Group 10 (WG 10).
ISO 45010 is under development. Nationally, STÖ Group is represented in Standard Norge's expert committee SN/K 551 — the Norwegian mirror committee for ISO/TC 283. This work gives the group unique insight into the regulatory landscape shaping future requirements for Norwegian and European employers.
ISO/TC 283 · WG 10

External validation
Recognised by Martin Cottam, former Chair of ISO/TC 283.
"This approach represents exactly the kind of evolution we need in international standards — moving from consensus-based opinion to a database of real evidence. Frankly, it could be transformational for standards."
— Martin Cottam, former Chair of ISO/TC 283
COMMERCIAL PROOF POINT
Our first commercial proof point.
STÖ Period Pain Relief is a CE-marked Class IIA medical device — a thermal heat patch developed for drug-free relief of menstrual pain. For the group, the product is both regulatory proof and commercial foundation: evidence that we can develop, certify and distribute a regulated product at scale.
The product is available in over 600 Norwegian pharmacies (Apotek 1 and Boots Apotek) and at stostore.no. Broad availability in Norwegian grocery retail is expected during 2026.
