The 2030 goal
To help save one million more lives, every year, by 2030
The One Million Lives goal is described in a book by Nina Tjomsland and Ken Morallee launched in 2020, outlining Laerdal’s history and strategy to reach the ambitious goal by 2030.
Nina is a former journalist and author of several books including three on Laerdal, and Ken was an employee of Laerdal for 28 years and joined the Laerdal Medical Board of Directors on his retirement at the end of 2011. The parts relating to strategy are being regularly updated on this website by Laerdal personnel.
Sustainability matters
Our mission is helping save lives. It’s who we are and what we do every day.
But we also acknowledge the significance of sustainability within our operations. We carefully track our products and services from the supply chain onward to identify impactful changes for better practices. Sustainability also means valuing people, promoting equity, and creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
Our new Sustainability Report highlights our progress towards 2030 goals, including reducing carbon emissions, adopting circular models, and achieving social objectives.
