Global Code of Conduct for Business Partners

Fresenius Medical Care’s Global Code of Conduct for Business Partners sets forth environmental, social and corporate governance standards (ESG standards) which apply to all business partners in our global supply chain. The Code is inspired by international standards such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (ILO declaration), UN Paris Agreement and environmental conventions as mentioned in the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. 

Fresenius Medical Care is committed to ethical and sustainable business conduct. We are committed to operate our business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as international standards. We expect the same commitment from our Business Partners. The Global Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which replaces the former Global Supplier Code of Conduct and Compliance Brochure, is part of our contractual relationships and an important criterion in our Business Partner selection process.
