About us

We are innovative, dedicated, and we care. We improve global healthcare through better access to medicine.​

Today, the Abacus Medicine Group is a large and growing entity,  where diversity is treasured. We work as a team, and our commercial activities provide jobs, careers, and livelihoods for hundreds of people in dozens of countries.

As the Abacus Medicine Group grows, so does our societal impact. We recognise our obligation to our stakeholders and to the wider society. This is reflected in our Sustainability efforts.

In the Abacus Medicine Group, we are highly conscious of our contribution to society. This has been the case ever since the family business was founded by father and son in 2004.

In the Abacus Medicine Group, we are proud to serve a purpose beyond ourselves.

When we compete in the market, we improve availability and reduce prices of life-critical medicines, so they become more widely available. Our core parallel distribution business helps us achieve exactly that. And with our pharma service business, Abacus Medicine Pharma Services, and our Dutch pharmaceutical wholesaler, Pluripharm, we provide better access to pharmaceutical products for even more patients, doctors
and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

The Abacus Medicine Group has grown fast since the beginning, and as we grow, we are able to make an ever-increasing contribution. To us, this is the hallmark of a sustainable business model.

Innovative
We believe anything is possible. We encourage original ideas. We are flexible and always ready to change plans if an opportunity arrives.

Dedicated
We are intensely focused on our tasks. We are relentless and willing to go that extra mile.

We care
We respect and value our fellow human beings: Internal colleagues, external business partners and the societies, we are part of. We do not act only in our own interest, but are conscious of others and believe in mutual, long-term partnerships.

We strive to uphold these values, both to society and to our external and internal relations. Therefore, we have created our own compliance framework.

Global
Today, our core business is in Europe. Tomorrow, we will be a global company. This is just as much about mindset, as it is about time zones and language versions. We must think and act globally.

Access
What we do, is all about access. We provide access to medicine in countries, where patients might not have it otherwise. We provide access for companies conducting clinical trials. When we make medicine more affordable through parallel trade, we also make it more accessible.

In September 2024, the Abacus Medicine Group celebrated 20 years of continued growth and successfully providing better access to healthcare.
In just two decades, we have developed in ways that are not often seen in Danish-founded companies. Watch the video to experience some of the milestones we have reached since it all started back in 2004.

Sustainability

We want to do better where it really matters.

Sustainability in the Abacus Medicine Group is an ongoing and never-ending process. From year to year, gradual changes in our business landscape and in the priorities of our stakeholders will affect our Sustainability priorities.

These are some of the areas we’re working with:

ESG Reporting
We are expanding our coverage of ESG metrics and adjusting some existing ones to enhance our reporting framework.

Transport
Building on previous efforts, we continue to explore ways to reduce the environmental impact of our transportation activities.

Waste & Sourcing
We take a holistic view of our entire production process, overseeing operations from start to finish across all production sites.

Supplier Code of Conduct
We seek to enforce the Supplier Code of Conduct with all external suppliers while formalising related processes within the organisation.

Diversity & Inclusion
We continually expand our efforts globally, working toward implementing our comprehensive Diversity & Inclusion strategy across the entire Abacus Medicine Group.

Community 
We actively engage in the communities we’re a part of and seek to build a strong one of our own; a good and caring workplace.
