Ethics & Compliance | Boehringer Ingelheim UK
Ethics & Compliance
At Boehringer Ingelheim*, we prioritise the establishment and maintenance of public trust. Transparency is a key pillar of our corporate culture, as well as a vital principle in healthcare compliance.
We are committed to legal and regulatory compliance and aim to comply with all legal and regulatory codes and obligations including those required by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA), the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH), the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and those imposed under US laws such as the Sunshine Act.
As part of this, we comply with the EFPIA Pharma Transparency (Disclosure) Code which requires all pharmaceutical companies to disclose all transfers of value to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Healthcare Organisations (HCOs) on an annual basis in arrears, starting with 2015 data. Details of these transfers can be found on the Disclosure UK section of the ABPI website.
In our Boehringer Ingelheim Code of Conduct, we emphasise our objective and commitment that “we act with integrity, are trustworthy and set a good example”.
