Corporate Responsibility

Well-being across boundaries

Our mission is to secure fast and reliable delivery of pharmaceuticals to all our customers – to pharmacies, health centres, hospitals, or even directly to the patient, independent of the customer's location. We operate under the strictest rules and regulations, which has motivated us to set the highest quality standards for all our operations in eight countries.

Due to our crucial role in the life chain, we are strongly committed to supporting various corporate responsibility issues. Because of the variations in each of our countries’ health-care systems, all actions and projects in this field are executed at the local level. However, our fundamental mission in every market remains the same: to support health and well-being across boundaries. 

Focus on children and young people

Last year our Finnish business unit Tamro Finland continued to focus on preventive drug abuse. Since 2002 Tamro has donated a drug detection dog to the Finnish Customs and sponsored its training. Moreover, we supported a private educational organisation that warns pupils about the threats of drug abuse.

During the reporting year, Tamro Sweden became the main sponsor in Queen Silvia's Hospital for Children in Gothenburg. The purpose of this sponsorship program is to give young patients and their families internet access and thus to provide relaxation and entertainment after a sometimes long and exhausting hospital stay.

Norway participated in several activities arranged by “Pharmaciens Sans Frontières” (PSF). Moreover, the company supported the yearly national fund-raising campaign of “Medecins Sans Frontières”. It also gave support to several kindergartens.

Our Latvian business unit Tamro Latvia continued its public charity activities together with the Swiss pharmaceutical company Mepha. The aim of the charity project “Give a dream” was to fulfill the dreams of palliative children. Tamro Latvia and Mepha produced a joint music disc recorded by popular musicians together with the young patients of the Children’s Palliative Care Society. This disc was sold successfully in pharmacies. Part of the income went to taking care of the needs of incurably ill children as well as to the Children’s Palliative Care Society.

In Poland, the 4th Educational Scientific Conference was organised by Tamro’s Polish business unit PHOENIX Pharma Polska in Warsaw. The conference aimed to improve the quality of diabetes treatments in Poland. As part of the program, over 100 training sessions were organised in close cooperation with diabetic clinics and the Polish Diabetes Association.

In addition to the projects started and carried out last year, Tamro is constantly on the lookout for new corporate responsibility targets that would best fit our values and principles for achieving a good life.
