Quality and sustainability.

Safety for the entire ecosystem.

Sustainability from A to Z

It’s the small things done on a daily basis that lay the foundation for a sustainable society. Some things that Tamro have done to contribute to a sustainable society is:

  • We measure the fuel consumption of our delivery trucks and strive to use renewable and alternative fuels wherever possible
  • About 80% of our waste goes to recycling or incineration for energy recovery.
  • We have been using 100% renewable energy in all our facilities since 2014.
  • Our transports take place by truck instead of flight, and the first choice for business trips is trains.

Quality is central to everything we do

Our mission places high demands on quality, safety, efficiency and preparedness. All parts are equally important to ensure the supply of medicines to patients. The goods we handle can be sensitive during storage and transport. Some products may need to, in order to maintain the quality,  go through an unbroken cold chain. Our operations are regularly inspected by our customers, the Medical Products Agency and through self-inspections. We work with continuous improvement to drive our business forward.

 
We offer the opportunity for our customers to participate in a quality network with participants from the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacies. The network meets up a couple of times a year to exchange experiences. You can also contact our quality experts and seek advice on more specific issues within GDP (Good Distribution Practice). On behalf of the Swedish Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tamro also participates in educational initiatives to promote the industry, such as "GDP in practice".

Our quality policy

Tamro contributes to health through a secure supply of medicines, health products and related services in a responsible, proactive and respectful way:

  • In collaboration, we create services that meet the customer's expectations.
  • Through competence development and goal management, we strengthen our quality work, our employees and their commitment.
  • We evaluate, improve and develop our processes and our management system continuously.
  • We follow the regulations and regulatory requirements that our operations are covered by.
