1 Code of Conduct for Business Partners of the Bionorica Group
2 Code of Conduct for Business Partners of the Bionorica Group We, the Bionorica Group of enterprises, believe in social responsibility, protecting the environment and fair business practices as our primary corporate values. The chief objectives of the Bionorica Group are to sustainably unite business, environmental and social responsibility and realize the concept of phytoneering. In pursuit of these goals, we, the Bionorica Group, commit ourselves to the following goals: To bring about broad understanding of the value and efficicacy of herbal pharmaceuticals. To make modern medicine for human health a little more natural. To uncover the secrets of nature to develop highly efficient herbal medicines. To improve quality of life. To realize the concept of phytoneering by setting standards in all areas of internal and external relations. To achieve these goals we have implemented a detailed Code of Conduct in which we define and describe the ethical dimensions of our activities. To ensure strict adherence to the Bionorica Group s corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards in procurement, external business partners must comply likewise with this Code of Conduct. The basic expectations of the Bionorica Group towards suppliers, service providers and other business partners are governed by this Code of Conduct for Business Partners. The basic Code principles conform with the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), the conventions of the International Labor Organisation (ILO), the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights, the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child and on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the principles of the United Nations Global Compact as well as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The principles set out in this Code of Conduct are not to be considered as maximum expectations of our business partners, but rather as expectations to be exceeded to the extent possible. 1/8
