Integrity

We are committed to acting with the highest standards of integrity, conducting all of our business in an honest, fair and ethical manner. We strictly prohibit bribery or corruption, whether direct or indirect, and have a zero-tolerance policy in place. Our Global Anti-Corruption Policy provides guidelines on: gifts, travel and hospitality, facilitation payments, political contributions, sponsorship and donations, conflicts of interest and third party management. For specific key risk areas we have implemented dedicated rules, instructions on how to operate and pre-approvals processes.

Anti-Corruption policy

We operate in a global environment and comply with applicable import and export controls laws, trade sanctions regulations and customs procedures, and expect our business partners to do the same. Accelleron has implemented specific controls to mitigate risks related to trade compliance, including screenings on suppliers and customers to avoid breaches of international sanctions, processes to comply with the dual-use regulations, and systems to ensure accurate declarations to trade authorities.

In a world where personal data is constantly at risk from illicit cyber activity, we are fully committed to combatting these threats and ensuring compliance with the data privacy legislation in all territories where we operate. Protecting the personal data of our customers, suppliers and employees is a critical objective that we take very seriously.
We uphold a data privacy policy applicable to all our group companies, ensuring that parts of our organisation safeguard personal data to a high standard.

As part of our Code of Conduct, we ensure our employees are fully equipped to protect personal data through our policies and training, ensuing that data privacy is recognised as a critical element of their work. In accordance with legislation, Accelleron enables individuals to request access their personal data and provides transparency over activities where their data is used.

Complying with competition and antitrust requirements is non-negotiable. We believe in competing fairly, openly and independently, and our approach to conducting business is always guided by our business values in compliance with antitrust laws and regulation. Our Antitrust Policy ensures each employee lives by this commitment.

We believe in a competitive, free enterprise system that guarantees that our hard work and innovation is rewarded, and we know that we will lose the trust of our stakeholders if we conspire with competitors.
Antitrust laws are designed to protect competition, on the basis that fair competition is beneficial to the end consumer and the public at large. Our actions must always comply with all applicable antitrust and other laws regulating competition, and we conduct ourselves globally in a manner consistent with the principles of competition law.
