Sustainable business ethics

Camurus strives to ensure a high level of business ethics with suppliers, healthcare professionals, patients, third parties and other stakeholders. Our ambition is to proactively work to prevent corruption, anti-competitive behavior and bribery throughout our entire value chain. It also includes ensuring transparency in collaborations and marketing, without compromising data confidentiality and patient privacy.

Important aspects

Anti-corruption and anti-competative behavior

Camurus has zero tolerance for any form of corruption, bribery or anti-competitive behavior – which is clearly stated in the company’s Code of Conduct, Vendor Code of Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy.

Selling practicies and product labelling

Camurus has guidelines in place to ensure transparent and ethical interactions with healthcare professionals and organizations, as well as accurate, balanced and objective product marketing.  

Transparency, data privacy and personal integrity

Camurus’ Data Protection policy describes how Camurus works to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The policy covers all handling of personal data within the company’s operations.

Our goals by 2026

  • Annually train Camurus’ employees and consultants on the company Code of Conduct, and specific related topics and Policies, such as Anti-Corruption and Data Protection
  • Ensure Camurus has a culture where one feels free to speak up about suspected misconduct1), including corruption, and a robust compliance framework (including monitoring and/or auditing) that can otherwise detect and remediate such issues
  • Disclose transfers of value to healthcare stakeholders, in accordance with industry code commitments, or on voluntary basis, see transparency reporting
