Ethics & Compliance
Drive a culture of integrity and the highest ethical behavior
As a global healthcare company operating in more than 100 countries, we are committed to effective corporate governance, adherence to the law, and a culture of ethics and compliance throughout the organization. Enhancing our practices and setting new standards is ongoing, and our current corporate governance guidelines reflect this evolution.
Our Ethics & Compliance team works closely with teams across the regions to ensure that our activities adhere to applicable laws and to company policies. We offer numerous channels to educate and counsel employees, as well as confidential avenues to raise questions or report alleged violations of law and company policy. We investigate these items promptly and report to senior management as appropriate.
Code of conduct
We have established a strong foundation of integrity and compliance that helps guide employees in making good, ethical business judgments and taking appropriate, lawful actions.
Standards for suppliers
We expect suppliers and business partners to comply with our guidelines and to know and obey all the laws governing the purchasing function at Vantive.
Human rights across the value chain
As outlined in our global human rights policy, we respect the human rights, dignity and diverse contributions of all individuals. Fostering human rights in our direct and indirect actions takes many forms, and is reflected in numerous company policies and initiatives, in areas including employment practices, privacy, safety, supply chain, ethical conduct and access to healthcare.
Ethics & compliance program
We design and update our ethics & compliance structure and programs regularly to reflect the needs of a complex global healthcare company.
We have an integrated local governance model in place, with ethics & compliance committees operating at the regional, country and business levels to drive the integration of the ethics & compliance program throughout Vantive.
Data privacy and security
Our privacy notice defines our privacy standards and guides our global operations to follow similar controls for protecting personal and patient health information. All Vantive employees are required to complete an online privacy training course.
Communication and guidance
Open communication is central to our commitment to integrity. We offer numerous channels to educate and counsel employees, as well as confidential avenues to report suspected violations of law and policy, which ethics & compliance investigates promptly and reports to senior management as appropriate. Managers are responsible for maintaining an environment that enables employees to raise and discuss issues safely.
One such channel is the Vantive ethics & compliance helpline, an independent telephone and web resource available to employees and their families, suppliers, customers and other Vantive stakeholders to raise issues and openly communicate about possible company ethics and compliance issues. Callers can report an issue or seek guidance in numerous languages, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and may choose to remain anonymous.
Helpline
The ethics & compliance helpline was established as an independent channel of communication that allows people to convey concerns and have an open dialogue about Vantive’s ethics and compliance issues.
