IVF Cryo Urges Industry to Rethink Fertility Shipping Standards

Published

on

  • Founders call for greater transparency, awareness, and patient education around embryo, egg, and sperm transport

FISHERS, IN, 19 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIREFollowing the insights shared in their recent profile, How IVF Cryo’s Founders Built a Safer Way to Ship LifeIVF Cryo is issuing a new call for awareness around the safe and reliable transport of frozen reproductive tissue. With growing demand for assisted reproduction services, the company is urging both fertility clinics and patients to demand higher standards when it comes to the handling and shipping of embryos, eggs, and sperm.

“We’re in a space where the stakes couldn’t be higher,” says co-founder Don Fish. “This isn’t just a logistics problem. We’re transporting someone’s potential child. That deserves more care, more transparency, and a better conversation.”

Why Shipping Reproductive Tissue Requires Special Handling

According to the CDC, over 330,000 assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles were performed in the United States in 2022. That number continues to rise. At the same time, more individuals are moving, changing clinics, or storing reproductive tissue long-term, which increases the need for safe, reliable transport.

Despite this, the standards for cryogenic shipping vary widely. Many shipments are still handled by companies with limited or no experience in reproductive tissue. IVF Cryo has seen firsthand the stress and consequences that can result.

“We’ve had people come to us after bad experiences—materials delayed, tanks untracked, calls unanswered,” Fish says. “That’s not acceptable in this space. One mishandled tank can mean the end of someone’s family-building plan.”

IVF Cryo’s Mission: “Protecting Future Families”

Founded in California in 2018 and now based in Fishers, Indiana, IVF Cryo specializes in the transport of frozen embryos, eggs, and sperm across the United States and internationally. They serve both individual patients and fertility clinics, providing white-glove service that includes cryogenic tank maintenance, active tracking, and dedicated communication.

The company’s mission—“Protecting Future Families”—reflects the weight of their work. Every shipment is treated with care and urgency, supported by team members who understand the emotional and medical significance of what’s being moved.

“It’s easy to forget what’s inside the tank if you treat it like just another package,” Fish explains. “But we never forget. And we don’t want clinics or patients to forget either.”

Steps Clinics and Patients Can Take Now

IVF Cryo believes that change starts with education and transparency. They’re calling on patients and providers to be proactive and informed when arranging any transport of reproductive material.

For Patients:

  • Ask who is handling your shipment. Not all transport providers specialize in IVF.

  • Request details on temperature control, monitoring, and delivery timelines.

  • Make sure there’s a clear point of contact for questions and updates.

  • Don’t assume your clinic has picked the best option—ask and compare.

For Clinics:

  • Regularly review partnerships with shippers to ensure they meet best practices.

  • Educate your staff and patients on the risks of improper handling.

  • Choose providers that specialize exclusively in reproductive tissue.

  • Avoid cost-cutting at the expense of safety.

“We want everyone to ask harder questions,” says Fish. “That’s how the whole system gets better.”

A Quiet but Growing Risk Area in Fertility Care

While attention in fertility often centers on treatment protocols and lab quality, the transport step remains under-discussed—despite its crucial role in patient success.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) has yet to standardize third-party shipping practices, leaving wide variation in safety and service. That gap, IVF Cryo warns, puts families at risk.

“There’s a lot of trust placed in this process,” Fish says. “But trust shouldn’t replace clear standards. Every clinic and patient deserves to know what’s happening to their reproductive material.”

About IVF Cryo

IVF Cryo, LLC was founded by Don and Ed Fish to provide high-integrity, patient-focused transport of cryogenically preserved embryos, eggs, and sperm. Their operations span domestic and international shipping, with a central hub in Fishers, Indiana. IVF Cryo partners directly with IVF clinics and works one-on-one with patients to deliver a safe, transparent, and personalized transport experience—no matter the destination.

The brand’s current direction centers on pieces that support daily life, personal milestones, and long-term use rather than short-lived trends or single-occasion styling.

“We focus on creating pieces people reach for instinctively, whether they are dressing for work, meeting friends, or marking a meaningful moment.”

The brand’s latest emphasis reflects a growing shift toward jewelry that feels natural in everyday settings. Rather than treating jewelry as something reserved for events alone, Sunshine Jewelries approaches design as part of a person’s routine. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings are developed with balance, proportion, and comfort in mind, allowing each piece to move easily from morning to evening without feeling overstated or impractical.

Materials across current collections include sterling silver, 10K and 14K gold, and carefully selected stones set with secure construction. Each design prioritizes wearability, accurate sizing, and thoughtful finishes that hold up to repeated use. Attention to comfort plays a central role, from smooth edges to reliable closures that support confidence during daily wear.

Sunshine Jewelries also continues to place importance on emotional connection. Many pieces are created with gifting in mind, offering options suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, career milestones, and personal celebrations. Clean silhouettes and versatile designs allow jewelry to feel personal without being tied to a single moment or trend cycle.

Alongside design philosophy, Sunshine Jewelries maintains a customer-focused shopping experience through its online store. The brand offers secure checkout, clear product information, fast delivery, and real-time order tracking to support a smooth purchasing process. This operational consistency reflects the same care applied to product design.

By reinforcing its commitment to jewelry made for real life, Sunshine Jewelries continues to position itself as a brand grounded in intention, wearability, and emotional relevance.

Context Releases 2025 Luxury Fashion Sustainability Benchmark on ESG Disclosures

Published

on

London, United Kingdom, 2nd Mar 2026 — A new 2025 Luxury Fashion Sustainability Benchmark released by sustainability consultancy Context reveals a growing divide between the depth of environmental disclosures and social transparency. The benchmark analyses the public sustainability and ESG reporting of 10 of the world’s largest luxury fashion companies, including Burberry, Chanel, LVMH, and Kering.

Social Sustainability: Placing People at the Centre

The benchmark assesses how effectively luxury fashion companies identify, manage, and report on key sustainability issues across five categories. It evaluates reporting maturity and transparency, rather than actual sustainability performance. The findings highlight the growing importance of developing a more holistic sustainability strategy that places people at the centre. While companies are integrating actionable targets and goals related to their material issues, such as climate, transparency doesn’t yet extend far enough to the people behind the products.

“As regulatory scrutiny increases and expectations rise, credible leadership will depend on companies being as open about social impacts, risks and opportunities as they are about emissions and other environmental topics,” said Helen Fisher, Managing Director at Context.

Key findings from the 2025 Luxury Fashion Sustainability Benchmark include:

  • Communicating a strategy: All luxury fashion companies provided updates on their sustainability strategy, but the extent to which it covered the company’s most material environmental, social, and governance issues varied.
  • Double materiality: 40% had communicated their impacts on planet and society, and the financial implications of those impacts, by reporting the results of a double materiality assessment.
  • Governance: Sustainability governance is well-established at both the Board and executive levels, but detailed ESG risk management disclosures are sparse.
  • Climate metrics: Luxury fashion companies tend to report more extensive climate-related data, but transparent communication on setbacks or underperformance is limited.
  • Nature: Nature reporting is slowly rising, with half following science-backed guidance from the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN). Only one company has SBTN validated freshwater and land targets.
    +1
  • Social impact: Reporting on social issues is weaker than on environmental and governance topics, indicating potential blind spots in supply chain risk.
  • Reporting frameworks: Most luxury fashion companies report against at least one sustainability reporting framework, such as the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, commonly used by companies to publicly report their impacts on the planet, economy, and society.
