When working with customers and partners, B. Braun adhere closely to our own clear rules and standards, particularly with regard to the various forms of benefits. In this regard, we work ac-cording to both legal and self-imposed requirements – in the form of internal guidelines and industry codes – that aim to promote fair competition in the healthcare sector.
These conditions establish a legally sound basis with which we protect both ourselves and our customers. To this end, we formulated a set of guidelines as far back as 1996; our employees are obliged to adhere to these requirements, which are verified by internal control systems. The rules contained within these guidelines had a significant influence on the selfimposed require-ments later introduced in the healthcare sector, for example the Kodex Medizinprodukte code for medical devices. This means that our guidelines are in the best interests of all concerned.
