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-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.
Giving Back to Our Community
16 Annual Scholarships
Every year, Anbessa Group provides scholarships to 16 students, supporting young Ethiopians in pursuing their education and building their futures. We believe education is one of the most lasting investments a business can make in its country.
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.
