For our partners
Being a vigilant, responsible partner
Our ethics and compliance policy serves to ensure we conduct ourselves in an exemplary manner. The policy enables us not only to comply with regulatory requirements regarding business conduct, but also satisfy our stakeholders’ aspirations for fair and balanced collaboration.
Ethics and compliance—living up to our role as a responsible member of the society
Compliance guides everything we do and the way we do it, day in, day out. Further to complying with legislation, regulations and other industry codes, we are constantly enhancing our compliance system by allocating ever-more resources and means, strengthening our anti-corruption system and integrating compliance in our risk management strategy.
The Servier compliance policy encourages all employees to behave in an exemplary manner. It enables us to achieve our strategic objectives with integrity.
Compliance in practice
We pledge to uphold compliance day in, day out by following two key guides: the Code of Conduct, a reference guide developed as part of the Group’s Ethics Charter, and an ethics hotline, which allows anyone to express their concerns and inform the Ethics Bureau of any serious failure to comply with the Code of Conduct or the Ethics Charter.
For our suppliers
We undertake a responsible approach to procurement and make sure we select our suppliers based on their ethical conduct and record of compliance, while also seeking to build a fair relationship with them.
Policies and procedures
Our suppliers are encouraged to adhere to and comply with the principles set out in the following Group reference documents:
