Supplier Code of Conduct

Ethics, Integrity and Responsibility in Business Relationships

There is only one ethics, one set of rules of morality, one code.
Peter F. Drucker

Prisum Healthcare’s Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the standards the company requires of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, contractors, consultants, and other business partners providing goods or services to Prisum Healthcare. The document translates the company’s principles of ethics, integrity, and legal compliance into requirements applicable to third-party relationships.

The Code covers compliance with applicable law, the prevention of bribery and corruption, conflicts of interest, fair competition, human rights and labour standards, confidentiality and data protection, product quality and patient and consumer safety, environmental responsibility, intellectual property, and public communications.

Prisum Healthcare requires suppliers to comply with these principles and to ensure that equivalent standards are understood and applied by their own employees, subcontractors, and supply chain partners. The Code also sets out mechanisms for monitoring, reporting concerns, and measures applicable in cases of non-compliance.

​ Supporting Policies and Commitments

Alongside our Code of Conduct Handbook and Supplier Code of Conduct, Prisum Healthcare has adopted a number of dedicated statements that set out, in greater detail, the principles we apply across specific areas of our activity. These documents reflect the same values that guide our Codes of Conduct, including integrity, transparency, accountability and respect, and are intended to help our employees, suppliers, partners and the public understand the standards we uphold every day.

Our Marketing Policy and Ethical Commitment (PDF, 0.25 MB, file version July 2026) sets out how we promote our products and services responsibly, ethically and transparently. It describes the principles governing our interactions with healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations, our approach to educational and scientific activities, and our standards for honest, accurate and evidence-based communications. Above all, it reaffirms our belief that commercial objectives must never compromise ethical conduct, scientific accuracy or patient safety, and that every marketing activity should ultimately serve informed healthcare decision-making and the wellbeing of patients.

Our Government Affairs and Political Engagement Statement (PDF, 0.25 MB, file version July 2026) explains how we manage our relationships with government authorities, regulators and public institutions with integrity and full compliance with the law. It confirms our commitment to political neutrality - refraining from political contributions and lobbying activities - and describes how we participate responsibly in professional associations and prevent conflicts of interest. Through these principles, we reinforce our commitment to responsible corporate governance and to a fair, transparent and well-regulated healthcare environment.
