Business Integrity

Roche’s integrity depends on the behaviour of its employees

All our stakeholders expect us to behave with integrity in our business.

Business integrity is defined as both the actual and the perception of ethical behaviour in business that is in line with the Roche Group Code of Conduct and our commitment to run our business in a socially responsible way.

Business integrity means first and foremost that we adhere to all applicable laws and regulations as well as to the high integrity standards set forth by Roche. Complying with these standards is a prerequisite for Roche’s sustainable success.

Adhering to our high integrity standards might lead to a loss of business in some cases. However, we are sure that doing so provides us with a business advantage.

Every Roche employee contributes to Roche’s integrity as a company through his/her conduct. Since Roche is doing business on a worldwide basis, employee misconduct in one country may have negative implications for Roche globally.

The terms and conditions that determine the appropriate behaviour in business must be assessed on a case-by-case basis by taking into consideration the relevant parameters of each individual case.

Roche gives its employees and its business partners the appropriate information, instruction, education, guidance and support they need to comply with Roche’s standards of business integrity.
