Our commitment
One million lives
Our mission is helping save lives. And we have established the goal to help save one million more lives. Every year. By 2030. However, we can’t do this alone. This is a shared goal with our partners, who we are privileged to support.
One shared mission
The One Million Lives goal is shared not only with our partners, but also among four Laerdal entities:
Laerdal Medical
A world leader for simulation-based medical education and resuscitation training. Our solutions are used by voluntary organizations, educational institutions, hospitals, and the military worldwide.
Laerdal Foundation
A research foundation, supporting practically oriented research to prevent needless deaths from sudden cardiac arrest, trauma, and during birth. Has funded close to 2000 research projects with over 40 million USD.
Laerdal Global Health
A not-for-profit company focused on helping save lives at birth and from time-critical emergencies in low-resource settings. Collaborating with global and national partners, our solutions are integrated into scalable and sustainable programs.
Laerdal Million Lives Fund
An early-stage venture capital fund investing in entrepreneurs who are developing innovative and disruptive healthcare technology solutions capable of addressing the world's largest mortality and life-saving challenges.
A commitment for life
For over 80 years, the Laerdal family has been committed to the long-term development of the company. This has allowed Laerdal to stay true to its vision and mission, now and in the future.
Laerdal believes innovation is about impact and that impact is about collaboration. To that end, over the years, the group has partnered with many professional associations and NGOs and will continue to do so to help achieve the shared goal.
Sustainability matters
We take sustainability seriously, and our goal is to ensure sustainability and carbon neutrality throughout the supply chain.
