About us

Our business includes ostomy care, urology and continence care, and wound and skin care. We operate globally, employing more than 10,000 people.

Mission: Making life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs

 Coloplast develops products and services to make life easier for people with deeply personal and private medical conditions. These conditions are often associated with trauma and taboo. The more intimate the condition, the greater the requirement to come closer to customers, understand their world and develop solutions that are sensitive to their special needs. We call this Intimate Healthcare.

Closeness to all customers makes this possible. We listen to better understand needs, and respond by finding new ways to do things better together. We lead the way by bringing the best ideas first and fast to market in the form of medical devices and service solutions.

Deeply private and personal medical conditions are our focus. Our passion to make a real difference to people’s lives is what drives and unites us. Our culture supports high ambitions, and releases the full potential of our own people to achieve them.
We welcome the broader responsibility that comes with leadership – a responsibility to the environment, to society, to our shareholders, and to act with integrity in all we do.

Vision: Setting the global standard for listening and responding

 Coloplast was built on the fundamental ability to listen and respond. Nurse Elise Sørensen listened to her sister’s concerns, she understood her needs, and responded by inventing the world’s first disposable ostomy bag. An invention that has made life easier for thousands of people. Ever since, listening and responding has been an integral part of all we do. Only by listening, can we understand the world of our consumers and act accordingly by developing the right products and services. Over decades, we have gained invaluable knowledge through working directly with healthcare professionals and the people who use our products.

We will be a trusted guide for consumers in a world of information overload – and a stronger partner with clinicians who are the experts in caring and healing. At Coloplast, we strive to be a greater resource for everyone by setting the global standard for listening and responding.
