Find out more about Vetter's Compliance Management System and Code of Conduct.
As a CDMO, Vetter recognizes that compliance is an integral part of our operations. Simply put, all individuals within Vetter as well as company activities as a whole must comply with all applicable laws, legal guidelines, and corporate policies. Our well-established state-of-the-art Compliance Management System is essential to our business. It contains elements of prevention and identification as well as adequate time for response and helps us maintain legal compliance. It allows us to operate according to the highest ethical standards and follow all relevant directives.
In an ever-changing global market, it is also vital that we stay informed on compliance issues and reasses the situation every day. Rapid corporate growth, increased requirements in national and international legal systems, and changing customer specifications must be constantly considered. Therefore, we regularly review and update both our Corporate Compliance System and our Code of Conduct. These procedures keep Vetter aligned with our customers’ changing needs, with legal guidelines, and with our own ethical principles and goals.
With consistent training and communication, compliance is a cornerstone of our operations. Compliance enables us to move forward lawfully and responsibly, prevent violations, and uphold the highest principles while operating as a responsible CDMO. Our ongoing dedication to compliance helps us fulfill our purpose of serving customers and patients around the world.
Serious reports help us to promptly remedy potential or actual violations against laws or company policies and to prevent or reduce any damage to our company, employees or business partners. You may notice behavior which is not (or does not appear to be) consistent with our commitment to compliance, for example deviations from the law or our Code of Conduct. In this case, we encourage you to share your concerns with us, whether you are an employee or an external informant (e.g., a customer or supplier). Regardless of whether you choose to report in person or anonymously, your request will be processed in due time and any information you submit will be kept strictly confidential.
