Medela began with a simple vision: combining innovation, technology, and people dedicated to a mission, we could make a difference. As a leading medical device company for nearly 60 years, that belief continues today and is guided by our destiny statement, anchored by our company’s core behaviors, and reflected in the actions of our employees and partners.
Over the decades, Medela has become a global company represented by 21 subsidiaries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia and is present in 100 countries around the world represented by an independent distribution network. As we have grown as a company and expanded globally so has our desire to make a difference on a global scale.
With the destiny statement created by the Larsson Family serving as our compass, Medela launches its new corporate social responsibility program, Medela Cares, to support the United Nations Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined within.
