Supplier Code of Conduct
Roche believes that good business means a better world. We deliver medical solutions while striving for economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Our suppliers are business partners with expertise and capabilities that we use to enable improvements in efficiency, effectiveness, and business continuity which allows Roche to deliver medical innovations to benefit our patients. We hold ourselves and our suppliers to the same high standards through the Supplier Code of Conduct.
The Roche Supplier Code of Conduct incorporates the 5 auditable key principles of the
Ethics: Suppliers shall conduct their business in an ethical manner and act with integrity.
Human Rights and Labour: Suppliers shall be committed to ensuring the human rights of workers and to treating them with dignity and respect.
Health and Safety: Suppliers shall provide a safe and healthy working environment and support the well-being of workers.
Environment: Suppliers shall operate in an environmentally responsible and efficient manner to minimise adverse impacts on the environment, and to help their own suppliers to do the same. Suppliers are expected to conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, preserve biodiversity and clean water, and minimize and control the use of hazardous materials.
Management Systems: Suppliers shall use management systems to facilitate compliance and continual improvement with these principles.
In addition to these 5 auditable sustainability principles, we ask our suppliers to protect intellectual property and customer information and promote economic sustainability in their communities.
Collaboration with suppliers for sustainable value creation
Procurement supports Roche in doing now what patients need next by delivering value beyond savings, driving sustainability in the communities where our patients live. We are committed to supporting our suppliers to do the same. There is no Planet B.
