Our culture of integrity, accountability, and transparency
We are committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and accountability while respecting human rights across our operations and supply chains. Our approach addresses key topics including business ethics, compliance, responsible supply chain management, human rights due diligence, anti-corruption, and stakeholder reporting channels. In this section, you can learn more about our policies, programs, governance processes, and reporting mechanisms.
Since the beginning of 2025, Fresenius Kabi has been an associate member of the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI). This initiative by leading pharmaceutical and healthcare companies promotes responsible supply chain practices and ethical sourcing standards. The PSCI's core principles provide clear guidance for suppliers on ethics, labor rights, health and safety, environmental sustainability, and management systems.
We act in line with the Fresenius Principles, which include complying with all relevant laws and regulations. We proactively identify and manage potential risks to our company, our operations, and, most importantly, our employees and patients.
We thoroughly analyze and address these risks using our Compliance Management System, based on three pillars:
Our compliance tools include:
We identify potential cases of misconduct via:
We manage reported incidents through:
Whether you are an employee, customer, supplier, or third party, you can report potential compliance violations or human rights risks linked to our operations.
To ask questions, seek guidance, or report any suspected misconduct, you can:
You can make your report anonymously and in your preferred language. Translation services are also available.
All submissions are treated carefully and confidentially by an independent team of experienced compliance investigators. They report directly to our Chief Compliance Officer.
To ensure we protect all people who speak up, we do not tolerate any form of retaliation. You can find detailed information on our case management process and other reporting channels in our Speak Up Policy.
Our global anti-corruption and anti-bribery (ABC) Policy outlines rules and principles to prevent bribery and corruption, both within our company and in dealings with third parties.
Applicable antitrust laws require compliance by all our employees across all locations and in all third-party interactions and transactions. Our global Antitrust Policy includes risk assessments, controls for sensitive transactions, training and communication, reporting of antitrust cases, and remediation, monitoring, and legal support. With this policy, we support antitrust compliance across our business operations and legal entities.
In compliance with applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations,,we have established a comprehensive business partner and anti-money laundering (AML) due diligence process. This process helps us to ensure that we know with whom we conduct business and where our funds originate from / where they are going. The process is based on our global SOPs on business partner due diligence and AML/CFT (Combating the Financing of Terrorism) and applies uniformly to all entities.
Our human rights program aims to uphold human rights across our operations and global supply chains. We implemented a robust due diligence process to identify, prevent, and address potential human rights impacts. We also expect our suppliers and business partners to mirror these rules and standards, as defined in our Third-Party Code of Conduct and the PSCI Principles.
Comprehensive information on the Fresenius Human Rights Program can be found on our Fresenius Group human rights pages.
Our human rights approach covers our own operations and our supply chains. We seek to continuously strengthen our human rights practices through ongoing training, awareness campaigns, and by fostering a culture of integrity and accountability.
