Responsible Business Practices
We are committed to demonstrating integrity in everything we do. What we do at Alcon is critical to help people see better; how we conduct our business in the workplace, in the marketplace, and in society determines our success as a business. We believe in conducting our business fairly and ethically and in a manner consistent with all applicable legal and industry code requirements.
Code of Business Conduct
Our Code of Business Conduct (“Code”) serves as the foundation of our Integrity and Compliance programme. Our Code defines what we stand for and how we conduct our business. All associates and members of the Board of Directors are expected to conduct company business consistent with the requirements of our Code.
Healthcare Professional Payment Transparency
Alcon Eye Care UK Limited (‘Alcon’) is proud of its collaborations. Working together with the NHS, its staff and patient groups is vital for improving outcomes for patients and ensuring they receive the best possible care. Patients benefit from these collaborations with new and improved medical devices, better services and care, and clinical teams that have benefited from education.
The disclosure of payments to individuals is an industry-led initiative, which Alcon fully supports and has fully complied with by providing the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industries (ABPI) with a list of payments published on their website, where pharmaceutical company payments to individuals and healthcare organisations in the UK are listed.
Transparency across the public sector, including healthcare, is increasingly being demanded by the general public. Alcon has made every effort to encourage all individuals to disclose details of their payments, and is committed to continuing to work with all stakeholders to increase transparency around these relationships.
We believe that open communication about these interactions helps foster trust with patients, the NHS, and the public, and we are dedicated to full transparency. We are committed to working with integrity, upholding high ethical standards, and following all laws and regulations.
