We strive to have a positive impact on society
At Mölnlycke we consider the long-term effects of our actions – whether we’re helping people to heal or contributing to the communities we serve. We actively invest in the communities where we operate and support charities that share our goals.
By donating products, funds and expertise, we help improve the lives of patients and support those who care for them. Working within the community in this way enables the organisations we support to become self-sustained. This way we also establish ourselves as responsible long-term partners.
Our global charity partner is Operation Smile.
Restoring smiles together since 2004
Since 2004, we've been proud to support Operation Smile, a charity that provides safe, free cleft lip and cleft palate repair surgery for children with facial deformities.
Global Cebu10000 Programme
In 2024, Mölnlycke and Operation Smile celebrated the official opening of the Cebu Comprehensive Cleft Care Center of Excellence in the Philippines. The centre is poised to provide comprehensive care for individuals with Cleft Lip or Palate (CLP) in the region and is expected to treat 10,000 patients within its first three years of operation.
Through investment in infection prevention training Mölnlycke aims to enhance the competency of local healthcare professionals, creating lasting and scalable shared value for the community.

Our policy on local community support
Our community support policy is designed to help us play an active role in the community. We receive many requests for donations to good causes at a local level and we cannot support all of them.
We have guidelines that ensure our community support is appropriate. The organisations we support should:
- be in the medical field,
- work to improve patients’ lives, to improve medical staff protection, or to increase the level of knowledge in the medical field,
- provide credible and measurable results.
The initiatives we support must also be in line with Advamed or Medtech Europe guidance and codes.
