We develop quality products and services that improve people’s mobility.

We help individuals to advance their everyday life and pursue their goals without limitations. Globally, only 30-40% of new lower limb amputees are fitted with a prosthetic solution. The average age is between 65-70 years and vascular related amputations are above 70%. Statistics demonstrate that if amputees in this age group do not become mobile, life-expectancy is materially reduced. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits and more importantly, regular activity can improve quality of life.

Through our products and services, Össur can have the most material impact on Goal 3 on Good Health and Well-Being. In relation to our commitment to Goal 3 we are tracking a special initiative related to design and availability of products that offer additional benefits for the elderly, increasing their independence and quality of life.

We nurture the well-being and development of our employees within an inclusive and safe work environment.

At Össur, we have a passion for helping people pursue a Life Without Limitations®. We celebrate different ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. We are committed to creating a culture of acceptance and belonging, while proudly serving as a diverse, global community. We place strong emphasis on the importance of creating and maintaining a diverse group of employees and know that diversity leads to better decisions and robust innovation.

One of the SDGs Össur supports is Goal 5 on Gender Equality. This is an ongoing commitment and for years, Össur has both measured and published gender split between employees as well as the gender split in management positions.

Safety is Össur‘s first priority and the responsibility of everyone within the organization. Our Safety Management System focuses on Employee Safety, Operational Safety and Employee Participation. The goal is to ensure a safe and healthy workplace through an active employee awareness and training program.

Based on our long-standing commitment to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and a safe and inclusive workplace, Össur has added UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 to the SDGs we are committed to emphasizing and contributing towards.

We partner with suppliers who respect human rights and participate in social development.

We have established Össur Supplier Sustainability program where we reach out to our key suppliers with the aim of engaging them in our sustainability journey. Össur is committed to responsible social and environmental development, respecting human rights, and contributing to making a positive impact. Cooperation with suppliers is an integral part of achieving this, and Össur has established processes for supplier evaluations allowing for partnership and improvements.

Össur uses a third party compliance screening tool and is creating a standardized process for ongoing screening.. The groups of third parties screened are suppliers, vendors, distributors, consultants, and other authorized representatives. The third-party screening results in high, medium, and low risk where applicable measures are taken based on the results.

We create a lasting positive impact on our communities, helping more people to live a Life Without Limitations.

Össur has long placed emphasis on making a positive contribution to the local communities where we do business.
The Össur Give Back Program offers all employees globally, one volunteer day per year with pay to give back to their communities. Össur supports and partners with a wide range of organizations around the globe. As a leading provider of mobility solutions, it is our responsibility and privilege to champion the people we serve in every way possible.
