About Us

About Anbessa Group

Anbessa Medical is part of Anbessa Group, an Ethiopian group of companies built on a proven record of sustainability, ethics, and professionalism. We bring the same standards that earned our sister company, Anbessa Travel, international sustainability certification and national recognition, to the supply of medical and electrical equipment for NGOs, government institutions, healthcare providers, and distributors across Ethiopia.

Our Legacy: Anbessa Travel

Anbessa Group's story begins with Anbessa Travel, a company that has shown that a business can grow while giving back to people and the environment. Its success is measured not only by the service it delivers to travelers, but by the positive impact it leaves on communities and on Ethiopia's natural heritage.

Travelife Certified

Anbessa Travel is Travelife Certified, an internationally recognized sustainability certification for the travel industry. The certification reflects our commitment to the social and environmental causes we support and to a sustainability policy that guides every part of how we work.

Our Sustainability and Ethics Policy

Across the group, we operate under clear policies that we take seriously:

Anti-corruption

We conduct business honestly and transparently, and we do not offer, accept, or tolerate bribery in any form.

Anti-slavery

We reject all forms of forced labor and human trafficking, in our own operations and in the supply chains we work with.

No child labor

We do not employ children, and we expect the same standard from our partners and suppliers.

Environmental responsibility

We work to reduce our environmental impact and to invest in restoring Ethiopia's natural environment.

Environmental Policy

Anbessa Imports is committed to protecting the environment in every part of our business, from the products we source to the way we run our offices and deliveries.

  • We source equipment and supplies from manufacturers who meet recognised environmental and quality standards.
  • We reduce waste by planning shipments efficiently, reusing packaging where possible and recycling what we cannot reuse.
  • We manage electrical and electronic waste responsibly, and we advise clients on the safe disposal of replaced equipment.
  • We promote clean energy through our solar and energy-efficient product range.
  • We plant and care for indigenous trees in Entoto as part of our ongoing restoration work.
  • We work to lower energy, paper and fuel use in our offices and deliveries, and we review our impact every year.

Human Resources Policy

Our people are the foundation of our service. We are committed to fair, safe and respectful employment for every member of the team.

  • We recruit and promote on merit, with equal opportunity regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, age or disability.
  • We pay fairly and on time, and we meet all Ethiopian labour law requirements on contracts, leave and benefits.
  • We do not use forced labour or child labour, in our own operations or in the supply chains we work with.
  • We provide a safe workplace, with training and protective equipment for staff who handle equipment.
  • We invest in continuous training and professional development so our team can grow with the company.
  • We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on harassment and discrimination, with a confidential channel for raising concerns.

Recognized as a Trusted Taxpayer

Our commitment to ethics extends to meeting our obligations in full. Anbessa Travel was awarded Silver Level Taxpayer status for 2022/23 and Gold Level Taxpayer status for 2024/25 by the Addis Ababa Revenue Bureau, recognition of our consistent, transparent, and responsible tax compliance.

Planting Indigenous Trees in Entoto

Every year, we plant indigenous trees on our dedicated land in Entoto, on the hills above Addis Ababa. By choosing native species, we help restore local ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and contribute to a greener future for the city.

Our Core Values

Sustainability

We make decisions with the long term in mind, for our clients, our communities, and the environment.

Ethics

We do business with integrity, transparency, and respect for people at every step of the supply chain.

Professionalism

We deliver on our promises, communicate clearly, and hold ourselves to international standards.
