Third Party Code of Conduct

This Third-Party Code of Conduct applies to our contract partners on the supply side (providing goods and/or services to us, i.e. upstream), sales side (purchasing goods and/or services from us, i.e. downstream) and to other third parties we do business with (“Third Party” or “Third Parties”, or “you”). In order to illustrate why it is important to Fresenius Kabi (“we”, or “us”) that Third Parties also adhere to our values and principles, we provide you with insights into our mission and values at the beginning of this document. Further down, you will find the main principles of the Third-Party Code of Conduct, which you must observe when working with Fresenius Kabi.

At Fresenius Kabi, our purpose is to provide life-saving medicines and technologies to people who care for patients and to find answers to the challenges they face. Fulfilling this purpose requires every one of us to be committed to working ethically and with the highest standards of integrity. Violations of law or non-compliant behavior can result in severe consequences, both for involved individuals and for our company as a whole.

Therefore, we expect all Fresenius Kabi Personnel to protect the company’s reputation by speaking up if there are questions or concerns about potential Compliance Violations which also includes Human Rights Violations. We also encourage everybody outside our organization, who witness potential Compliance Violations in connection with our business operations to speak up and address any concerns to our dedicated reporting channels.

This policy provides a guideline informing about the channels and protection available to Reporters, which kind of reports qualify for protection and whom to report relevant information to. Further, it illustrates in which manner we will support and protect Reporters against potential negative consequences and how we will ensure fair treatment of employees mentioned in reports.

This Global Annex to Global-POL-LE-000070727 (Speak-up Policy) provides a more detailed description of potential violations of human rights and related environmental risks according to Section 2 of the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains.

Our values are the DNA of our corporate culture – the essence of Fresenius Kabi. These represent what we stand for and should be considered for our daily work and decision-making. This Code of Conduct is built on our values, which describe how we aim to achieve our goals and sustainable success.
