Our philosophy: improve quality of life, relieve suffering
As part of the healthcare system and a specialized wholesaler, we have a legal mandate stipulated by the Medicinal Products Act to provide people and animals with the medicines they need.
Our goal is to procure drugs from around the world that cannot be obtained through standard healthcare in Germany and abroad. Our goal is to develop and implement intelligent concepts to close the gaps in pharmaceutical supply channels. We operate with an awareness of our pharmaceutical tradition and a focus on people, the environment and sustainable business practices.
Actions speak louder than words
Education and training
Training of wholesale and export merchandisers
An international company needs to invest in the future in order to succeed. That's why we have been training new employees since 2008.
We act sustainably
ilapo is climate neutral
ilapo has long been committed to an ecological and sustainable future. In order to determine the impact of ilapo on the environment, we had an emissions balance drawn up in 2018.
Measures were derived from the evaluation to further reduce emissions in the future. With approx. 2.2 tons of CO2 per employee, we have already achieved good to very good results compared to other companies of the same size and industry. In order to compensate for the emissions that could not yet been reduced, certificates such as those for the VCS + CCBS forest protection project in Brazil were purchased, making ilapo climate-neutral.
Our website has also been CO2 neutral since 2022, because every page view on the Internet also generates emissions - overlooked by many. These emissions were compensated via www.co2neutralwebsite.de.

- Supporting member of Pharmacists without Borders
Healthcenter No. 16 is located in a part of Buenos Aires with the most new slums. Some 500,000 people live there, 20 percent of the city’s population – for the most part in poverty. The district’s health center doesn’t have enough doctors and nurses, not to mention pharmacies and medications. Since 2012 we have supported the construction and maintenance of a health center in a Buenos Aires “villa miseria”. Donations go towards funding doctors, pharmacists, nurses and medications.
