Crucell adheres to high standards of ethics and transparency in dealing with all stakeholders. We take our legal and ethical obligations very seriously.
Crucell has introduced a Code of Conduct to guide employees in the high standards of behavior expected of them and their obligation to act with integrity at all times. This Code has been presented and explained to all employees during interactive meetings led by representatives of senior and local management.
The Code of Conduct urges employees to report any behavior or action that may be in breach of this code. A procedure for reporting non-compliance has been implemented, and compliance officers have been appointed worldwide. They report that employees are increasingly seeking informal advice if they are unsure about the ethical way to behave in a particular situation.
The Code of Conduct has been incorporated into Crucell’s new general terms and conditions for suppliers. This lays the basis for enforcing compliance and responsible supply chain management.
These developments are part of our overall effort to improve enterprise risk management—which includes, but goes beyond, the management of financial risks.
