At Mundipharma, we believe in putting patients and the healthcare professionals who serve them at the core of everything we do, and that means acting with integrity in all our business decisions and actions.
To help our employees understand the high ethical and legal standards we expect, and have confidence in meeting them, we provide guidance in the form of a holistic set of policies, training and resources. Every employee is encouraged to seek help when in doubt, to challenge behaviours that wouldn’t meet our high standards and to report concerns promptly.
Mundipharma is committed to acting with integrity in all that we do, keeping the best interests of patients in mind. Whether directly or through our third parties, we expect behaviours that comply with laws and regulations, uphold high ethical standards, and demonstrate respect for the independent medical judgement of healthcare professionals. We believe in the power of speaking up for what’s right and creating a safe environment for everyone to do so. That’s putting patients at the heart of what we do.

Charter on the responsible medical use of opioid analgesics in pain management
Opioid analgesics can be an important option for healthcare professionals to appropriately treat certain patients with pain. Notwithstanding this medical need, Mundipharma recognises that the use of prescription opioid medications is associated with risks, including misuse, abuse, addiction (opioid use disorder, OUD) and diversion. As a company that sells opioid medicines for appropriate and responsible medical use, we are committed to mitigating these risks and to supporting healthcare professionals in treating their patients in need.
For more information, please see our charter on the responsible medical use of opioid analgesics in pain management.
Disclosure of payments
Like many other pharmaceutical organisations, we work collaboratively with healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations to advance patient care. Our policies and procedures provide instructions to employees on the rules and approval processes required for such engagements, to help ensure that they are only for lawful and legitimate business needs, are accurately documented, are paid according to fair market value, and do not interfere with a healthcare professional’s independent medical judgment. Where required by local industry codes or legal requirements, we disclose any such payments.
Grants & Donations
We are proud to provide grants and donations in the form of financial support or other appropriate items or services that are consistent with our guiding principle of patient centricity: to deliver better, faster, and more impactful solutions, to advance medicine, healthcare, and education, and to benefit the communities in which we operate.
At Mundipharma, all grant and donation decisions are made by a centralised committee to maintain independence from commercial considerations.
