Why this matters
Clinigen has a deep commitment to providing medicines for people in need around the world, and the responsibility to do this safely, transparently and ethically is one that directs everything we do. Ethical practice is an ethos that’s foundational to the healthcare world and to our stakeholders – our partnerships are strengthened by our shared values. We believe that business integrity is built on strong ethical and responsible foundations, and courageous leadership.
Our approach
We set high standards for auditing, transparency and reporting, and we embody an ambitious continuous improvement mindset that has enabled us to implement market leading reporting tools. This approach embeds processes and controls which support compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and standards across our global operations.
We adopt a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption and fraud. We are committed to transparency and granularity, the highest quality governance processes, development of long-term partnerships with suppliers and supply chains, razor focus on data security, and respect and care for all our stakeholders.
We continue to work closely with our business partners to promote procurement practices that are sustainable and ethical across our supply chains, encouraging and supporting them to be change makers in their own businesses. Our third party risk management tool Aravo enables us to screen our supply chain on a range of ESG criteria, and in the coming two years, we will implement a new Sustainability Supplier Engagement Programme (SSEP).
