At Smith+Nephew we are committed to integrity, honesty and professionalism.
We believe that it’s a privilege to provide products and services for patients and healthcare professionals. And we believe that it’s up to everyone who works for us – or on our behalf – to share that responsibility by upholding our reputation for integrity and ethical conduct, because the sustainability of our business depends on doing things the right way.
We have established a world class Global Compliance Programme to help our employees and our third party partners to comply with applicable laws, regulations and industry codes of practice.
