Ethics and compliance
The fundamental principles that guide us
With the aim of achieving sustainable success, at Ferrer we have the firm belief that our culture of ethics and compliance are key elements for the development of our activity.
As a member of various sectoral employers in different countries, at Ferrer we fully comply with the requirements included in their respective codes of ethics and respect all the regulations applicable to our products.
Our Ethical Code applies to all Ferrer collaborators and management, as well as to those working in the group’s companies, it encompasses behavioural principles for the company’s internal relationships and its relationships with interest groups and goes beyond regulatory compliance.
We also have a series of policies and procedures that develop the principles set out in the Code of Ethics, such as the Anti-Corruption Policy, the Trade Controls Policy or the Money Laundering Prevention Policy, which complement the other Compliance rules of the pharmaceutical sector.
Our ethics and compliance policies also determine the way Ferrer interacts with third parties (suppliers, distributors, licensees and other). In Ferrer we are convinced our commercial relationships are more productive and they have a greater social value when they are based in common values.
