Business ethics and compliance

In organisations with complex structures, such as ours, where hundreds of decisions are made every day, clear and transparent rules are essential. They guide us in acting ethically, responsibly and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our actions are shaped by the company values developed by our employees, which guide our decisions on a daily basis, as well as by our Code of Ethics and Values Charter adopted across the organisation. We believe that trust is the foundation of productive and meaningful cooperation, which is why we are committed to open and honest dialogue with our employees, society and external stakeholders.

We promote transparent relationships with patient organisations and healthcare professionals. This approach supports informed decision-making and helps prevent unethical or unlawful behaviour.

We are a member of Medicines for Europe and conduct our activities in line with the highest standards of transparency and ethical conduct. Each year, we publish a Transparency Report disclosing selected benefits, including:

  • remuneration for healthcare professionals, such as fees for workshops, lectures or participation as experts on advisory boards, as well as support for healthcare professionals’ participation in educational events,
  • remuneration or support provided to healthcare organisations and patient organisations, including medicinal product donations, in-kind support and financial contributions.
