Robust Governance (ESG) | Medline Australia

Robust governance

We do what is right, not only what is required.

OUR APPROACH

Holding ourselves to the highest standards

We have developed—and continue to evolve—programs and policies that help us hold our business operations, employees and suppliers to the highest ethical standards. From ethical sourcing to data privacy and security, we’re committed to conducting ourselves in a way that makes our customers and suppliers proud to do business with us.

ETHICAL SOURCING

Extending our values throughout our supply chain

We work diligently to ensure our manufacturing partners respect, honour and uphold the basic rights of all workers in our supply chain. Our comprehensive ethical sourcing program requires our partners to maintain safe work environments, promote fair labour practices, and protect fundamental human rights at every step of the manufacturing process.

DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Keeping information safe

Our data privacy policies, processes and programs reflect our commitment to the highest levels of security, compliance and adherence to all applicable laws and regulations.

BUSINESS ETHICS

Maintaining high standards and demonstrating our values

Our global ethics and compliance program includes rigorous oversight, monitoring, training and enforcement to help us uphold our core values and ethical standards, and to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and industry codes. We have developed numerous compliance guidelines, tools and resources tailored for our stakeholders, with particular focus on risk areas such as conflicts of interest, bribery, corruption and interactions with healthcare providers.
