Business Ethics: A culture characterized by integrity, accountability, and transparency.

Engaging in ethical business practices is not only morally essential but also advantageous for the business. The 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals that 76% of respondents expressed their reluctance to purchase products or services from a company they lack trust in.

Undoubtedly, business ethics play a pivotal role in cultivating trust, adhering to regulations, fostering employee engagement, addressing customer needs, improving financial performance, and advocating for ethical practices within the supply chain.

This is why business ethics holds a crucial position within our CSR agenda.

Our success hinges on maintaining integrity, a cornerstone among our six core values. These values constitute the essence of our corporate culture, embodying our principles: customer focus, quality, integrity, collaboration, creativity, passion, and commitment. We actively embody these values in our daily tasks, every decision we undertake, and our engagements with business partners, suppliers, customers, healthcare professionals, and the wider community.

To us, integrity involves acting ethically, not only within legal boundaries but also surpassing them. We have cultivated a culture marked by integrity, accountability, and transparency—a culture consistently embraced by our global workforce every day. Transforming this ethos into reality requires a collective team effort.

As a united force, we uphold human rights, foster a sustainable supply chain, combat bribery and corruption, and adopt a zero-tolerance stance towards antitrust violations. Upholding our commitments and adhering to elevated standards of integrity and compliance, we recognize that ethics are intrinsic to successful business practices. By nurturing such a culture, we not only earn trust but also fortify our reputation, paving the way for sustainable performance.
