Raising Questions or Concerns
The Supplier Code of Conduct
Employees of suppliers should contact their own legal/compliance department to resolve internal ethics and compliance concerns. In case this concern might also affect Boehringer Ingelheim as the contract partner of the supplier, Boehringer Ingelheim Compliance must be informed immediately by the supplier.
In case employees of suppliers believe that a Boehringer Ingelheim employee, or anyone acting on behalf of Boehringer Ingelheim, has engaged in illegal or otherwise improper conduct, he or she should report the matter promptly to Boehringer Ingelheim.
Such concerns can also be submitted via Boehringer Ingelheim’s “Speak Up” portal, by employees of suppliers and suppliers down the supply chain and even other concerned parties. This portal ensures confidentiality and – if desired – anonymity of the reporter.
All employees of our suppliers working directly or indirectly with Boehringer Ingelheim, should be notified about the availability of this portal and trained on its use.
