Our business is built on an unwavering commitment to integrity and compliance, which is demonstrated by our staff members every day through their words, decisions and actions.
This requires preserving our heritage of high ethical values and standards, ensuring accountability for our actions, and putting the patient first. Quite simply, it requires doing things right and doing the right things.
This approach is woven through all facets of our organization by robust governance practices, global policies, performance management systems, training, and ongoing monitoring and remediation. It is also built on a culture of transparency and engagement with stakeholders.
