Our (hybrid) office is not just a place of work; it's a place for collaboration. We believe in a professional and open atmosphere where employees freely approach each other for guidance, support, and knowledge sharing. We believe in the power of learning from one another, and our diverse team ensures a wealth of perspectives and experiences. But it's not all work and no play – at IDA, we know how to have fun too! We organise exciting outings and sporting events, forging bonds among colleagues who become lifelong friends. This trust and camaraderie form the bedrock of our unique IDA culture, making it a place our team loves to work.

We understand that happy employees are productive employees, and we're dedicated to fostering their well-being.

Our values

IDA Foundation's organisational values reflect what we believe and help to direct our work and our actions. Our values were identified by staff in Amsterdam and India, through a collaborative process that encouraged participation. The result?

We strive to make our values visible in our daily work, in how we interact with our colleagues and partners and, most importantly, how we serve our customers.

Our strategy

Besides our values, we have defined our long-term goals and strategy in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By mapping the SDGs alongside IDA’s mission and work, we have identified the five SDGs where we feel we can best leverage our unique capacity as a global supplier of health products, for a sustainable and healthy future. Both our commitments and organisational values resonate with our mission and [our long-term strategic goals].
