Integrity and transparency

Integrity and transparency

Krka is a company with a long tradition, building its successful business story on integrity and dedication to the highest ethical standards.

Ethics in clinical trials and R&D

We recognise the major importance of clinically tested medicines and therefore monitor their efficacy, safety and quality before and during registration procedures and after obtaining relevant marketing authorisations. We therefore conduct many bioequivalence studies, do research in pre-authorisation phases, and support post-authorisation clinical studies. All clinical trials are conducted in line with the applicable legal requirements, good practice guidelines, the Helsinki Declaration and the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).

Anti-corruption

Krka applies the principle of zero tolerance with regard to fraud and corruption prevention, and corporate compliance. This means that no unethical, unprofessional, or unlawful conduct on the part of employees and business partners is allowed. We do not exploit business opportunities, assets, and information to gain personal and economic advantages for ourselves or any third parties.

Comprehensive and accessible reporting

Comprehensive and accessible reporting is of key importance for various stakeholders and the general public. As a public listed company whose shares are listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange (LJSE) and the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), we comply with national laws and EU legislation and act in accordance with other regulations on internal and controlled information reporting, financial statements, and business reports, which we regularly make public in the electronic information dissemination system.

Fair marketing and sales practices

We give healthcare professionals integral, accurate, up-to-date and balanced information on our medicines and the treatment doctrine. Our relationships with the expert community are transparent and traceable, and we strictly follow all laws and regulations in that area.

Human rights

Equal opportunities for all and an ethical approach to people and the wider social community represent the foundations of our work. We respect the dignity, personal integrity, and privacy of each individual. We also respect the freedom of speech and expression of opinions, and we always treat others with respect.

Tax policy and transparency

Krka Group Tax Strategy and Krka Group Tax Code of Conduct set out the policy, objectives, guidelines, and principles of tax management, including transfer prices, based on principles and rules of ethical conduct and good business practices and standards of conduct, which are defined in Krka’s Code of Conduct.
