Reading Time: 2 minutes
AniCura, one of Europe’sleading providers of high-quality veterinary care for companion animals, presents its quality and sustainability report for 2018 and commits to reduce the company’s antibiotic use by half until 2030.
Since 2015, AniCura has issued an annual quality report covering the developments within quality and patient safety as well as antibiotic use among AniCura’s clinics. During 2018, the majority of AniCura’s clinics reduced unnecessary use of antibiotics, and at one third of the clinics antibiotic use was reduced with more than 30 percent. Now, the company accelerates its efforts to counteract the spread of resistant bacteria and commits to reduce antibiotic use by half until year 2030.
– Resistant bacteria are today one of the most serious threats against human and animal health, driven by overconsumption of antibiotics and poor hygiene standards in health care. A wiser use of antibiotics is a key undertaking for us and we aim to reduce our antibiotic use by half, says Ulrika Grönlund, Group Medical Quality Manager AniCura.
AniCura’s quality and sustainability report is the first of its kind in the veterinary industry and covers the developments within the nine focus areas of QualiCura, AniCura’s medical quality program. In 2018, AniCura engaged with its stakeholders to take a holistic perspective on sustainability and the report for 2018 covers besides quality and antibiotic use also the company’s work to develop sustainable working conditions, support pet owners in preventive health measures as well as AniCura’s environmental impact.
– I’m proud over the fact that we are recognized for our quality development agenda and the annual quality report issued every year. This year we have taken the report a step further by including key areas of sustainability as we know sustainable veterinary care is of high importance to both customers and employees. The purpose of our report is to provide transparency around our operations and share our learnings with the entire market to inspire further development, says Peter Dahlberg, CEO AniCura.

Prime Factors and Thales Extend Collaboration to Help Customers Build More Secure Payment Applications Faster with BCSS and the Thales payShield HSM
EUGENE, Ore., April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Prime Factors and Thales announced today that Thales will offer Prime Factors’ Bank Card Security System (BCSS) – a software solution that helps simplify the orchestration of payment security in bespoke payment applications – through its global distribution networks.
“We are eager to provide tools for our customers to implement payment security quickly and easily,” said Todd Moore, Vice President of Data Security Products at Thales. “BCSS delivers robust application-side payment security infrastructure and is remarkably complementary to the Thales payShield HSM. BCSS helps to accelerate application development, simplify security compliance, and includes pre-built integrations with the Thales payShield HSM that make it easier to implement and manage hardware security for payments.”
BCSS delivers out-of-the-box security functionality to help developers build secure payment applications in a fraction of the time, including:
- Robust payment key management and secure storage
- Granular role-based access controls and permissions enforcement
- Audit logging and reporting functionality
- High-Level APIs and pre-built workflows for quickly integrating payShield HSMs
- Built-in load balancing across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid HSM deployments
“When Thales launched its Cloud-based Payment HSM Service, it became clear that BCSS was a key differentiator,” said James Torjussen, payShield Product Manager at Thales. “The load balancing functionality and deployment flexibility of BCSS allows our joint customers to better manage cloud migrations – moving capacity, specific functions, or specific environments to the cloud smoothly, at a pace that makes sense for their business, without complex application re-development. BCSS seamlessly spans cloud and hybrid-cloud deployments and provides robust failover capabilities that reduce the timelines, costs, and risk of cloud migration.”
“BCSS, which has stood the test of security auditors for decades, is the ideal solution for enterprises that build and manage their own payment applications,” said Jose Diaz, Vice President of Products and Services at Prime Factors and Former Head of Payments Strategy at Thales. “BCSS helps enterprises get to revenue faster, mitigate risk, and reduce implementation costs, as well as the total cost of ownership over time. Supporting Thales channel partners to help enterprises simplify payment security infrastructure feels like a natural step in our 30+ years of ongoing collaboration with Thales.”
