Building trust through quality

We are building trust through quality in everything we do.

We are upholding ethical standards and  acting with integrity, and operating responsibly and ethically. 

We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in the conduct of our global business operations. This is grounded in our culture of progress and belonging, and powered by our three core values: innovative, caring and collaborative.

Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct sets out behaviours we expect from our employees as we conduct our business, and provides an overview of our legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements. Our Code of Conduct provides guidance to our employees and partners on the ethics of Hikma’s business activities through the identification and discussion of various risks associated with the business. Hikma employees, officers and directors are trained on the Code of Conduct as part of their induction and employment. All employees undergo annual refresher training.
Bribery and corruption zero tolerance
We have a zero tolerance policy for bribery and corruption at Hikma. As a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), we are subject to the regulations of the UK Listing Authority. We also comply with the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as global anti-corruption standards and local anti-bribery and corruption laws. Our Compliance, Responsibility and Ethics Committee (CREC), a Board-level committee, provides oversight of our global compliance programme and the management of associated risks, including bribery and corruption.
Defending the principles of human rights
We are committed to protecting human rights and upholding the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA). We take measures to ensure that modern slavery in the form of slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labour and human trafficking is not taking place in any part of Hikma’s business or in those of our partners and suppliers.
Supporting freedom of association and collective bargaining
We support freedom of association and collective bargaining across our organisation so our people are fairly represented and their rights are protected.

We believe in transparency and promote a culture that encourages employees to raise any concerns about potential violations of laws and regulations, or other behaviours or incidents that do not comply with our Code of Conduct. 

Our Speak Up line provides both internal and external stakeholders a resource to confidentially raise concerns about suspected misconduct.

Protecting patients
Ensuring the well-being and safety of our patients is the core of our mission. We uphold a strict pharmacovigilance framework to safeguard against patient harm and to guarantee the safe, effective use of our products. We have globally aligned processes to identify, assess, and communicate any changes in the benefit-risk balance of our products and to implement timely corrective and preventative actions.
Complying with Current Good Manufacturing Practices
Our marketed products (either manufactured by Hikma or outsourced through partners) comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs). We implement quality oversight on our suppliers, partners and sub-licensors to ensure that these stakeholders are in full compliance with regulatory standards and Hikma requirements. Quality Agreements are in place to focus on compliance to CGMPs and define each party’s responsibilities. Risk-based CGMP audits are also conducted on suppliers by our global quality team and other reputable third-party consultants.
