Our Commitment to Ethics

Sandoz strives to be responsible when it comes to our employees and our communities. People are our top priority. This priority extends beyond our work as a pharmaceutical company to our responsibility as a corporate citizen. By thinking differently, we pledge to change not only patient lives, but the world around us.
We strive to apply the highest possible ethical standards in all of our business practices and activities worldwide. These global standards apply equally to our employees and business partners alike, as we believe that financial success and social commitment go hand in hand.
We pledge:
- Fair employment conditions for all our staff;
- Commitment to environmental protection;
- Swift, global and direct aid in the event of man-made or natural disasters or other emergency situations;
- Commitment to achieving a world without tuberculosis (TB) by researching, new-life saving treatments and donating anti-TB formulations to the World Health Organization; and,
- Support for local charitable projects in the areas of medicine and health.
