Governance
Animal welfare
Animal welfare is a focus throughout our research and development of new medicines. ALK conducts animal testing to ensure its medicines are safe and effective, using animals only when alternative models are insufficient. The ́three R’s: replace, reduce and refine ́ philosophy guides our strategy.
Whistleblowing protection
Promoting a culture of transparency and accountability, ALK encourages employees, suppliers, vendors, consultants or others with a work-related relationship with ALK to raise serious and sensitive concerns using our whistleblower hotline, ALK Alertline.
Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery
ALK has zero-tolerance for employees engaging in any corrupt activities, as outlined in our anti-corruption policy. We regularly assess risks and adjust our compliance program accordingly. To proactively prevent corruption and bribery events, online training in the company ́s Code of conduct is delivered annually to all employees globally.
