Our ambition is to
-
in 2024, have implemented a due diligence process in Amgros that follows the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
-
in 2024, require that our suppliers of medicines and hearing aids also comply with the OECD and UN guidelines.
We will do this, because the products procured by Amgros are produced in many different countries under very different conditions. As a manager of public funds, we have a special obligation to comply with international guidelines for responsible business conduct.
The purpose of the due-diligence process is to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for the negative impacts on human rights and the environment in our supply chain. Therefore, we will review our own procedures and agreements, and place demands on our suppliers.
In parallel, we will work internationally to set focus on responsible business conduct within the medicines industry including, in particular, in the Nordic Pharmaceuticals Forum.
