Code of Conduct and Compliance

Code of Conduct

Inappropriate conduct undermines fair competition, damages our credibility, and ultimately threatens our capacity to do business. Therefore, it is essential for us to comply with strict ethical standards, as well as international and local laws. We ensure this by following our Code of Conduct, establishing compliance committees, and implementing a compliance management system.

Our Code of Conduct is built on Fresenius Kabi’s values and guides us when we face a compliance issue or an ethical dilemma. It is a binding framework that leads us to the right decision, irrespective of hierarchy, and clarifies our mission, values, and principles. The Code of Conduct of Fresenius Kabi can be found under the following link: Our Business Ethics: Transparency at Fresenius Kabi (fresenius-kabi.com).

 

Reporting Misconduct

We are fully committed to compliance. We strongly encourage employees, customers, suppliers, and any other third parties to direct any report on potential compliance violations or human rights concerns in connection with our business operations to our dedicated global reporting channels.

You can write an e-mail to compliance@fresenius-kabi.com to ask questions, seek guidance, or report any suspected misconduct.

In addition, we offer a reporting platform, available 24/7, where potential compliance violations or human rights violations can be reported. Anonymity and translation services are available. You can make your report under www.complianceactionline.ethicspoint.com.

Any question or report is treated confidentially and carefully by the Fresenius Kabi Ombudspanel. This specialized, independent board of compliance experts has experienced global investigators reporting to Fresenius Kabi’s chief compliance officer.

We do not tolerate retaliation against reporters. Please see detailed information on our case management process and other possible reporting channels in our Speak Up Policy which can be found here Fresenius Kabi Speak up Policy.

Thank you for speaking up and helping to maintain integrity!
