Corporate Citizenship

We believe that strong communities are a vital element of healthcare. Whether we're working in a global or local community, we strive to do our part. Our businesses and our employees show their generosity in many ways. Here are just a few examples:

• Donating canned supplies to food banks and serving meals at homeless shelters
• Building houses with Habitat for Humanity and renovating schools with children from local communities
• Mentoring children through Big Brothers Big Sisters
• Building bridges in Africa through the "Bridging the Gap" program
• Purchasing school supplies for low-income children
• Participating in many types of charity walks and bike-a-thons in support of research for cancer, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses
• Hosting coat drives and collecting clothing to help those in need stay warm during the winter
• Honoring company founders by donating funds to build a local children’s park
• Competing in a variety of athletic tournaments to support families coping with cancer and other illnesses
• Bringing much needed holiday cheer and fun Christmas gifts to children from low-income families

Compliance with company standards and all laws, rules and regulations applicable to our Company wherever we do business worldwide is critical for our success. Acting ethically and honestly helps safeguard our reputation for integrity. Maintaining compliance and ethical standards is essential to our ability to earn and retain the trust of our customers and stakeholders and ensuring our continued growth.

To ensure actions taken on behalf of the Company are honest, ethical, and lawful, inVentiv Health’s Board of Directors adopted the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code) that lays out the Company’s expectations of acceptable behavior in a variety of areas including, healthcare regulations, interactions with healthcare professionals, conflicts of interest and data privacy protection. It also provides guidance and resources for reporting unethical behavior.

Our Code has been translated into multiple languages and it is the Company’s policy that all of its employees, officers and directors; each of its subsidiaries; and its consultants, suppliers, agents and other representatives worldwide comply with company standards including the Code and all healthcare related laws, rules and regulations governing inVentiv’s business.

• The U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act;
• FDA Standards for Good Clinical Practice and laws and regulations adopted in accordance with the European Union Clinical Trial Directive;
• Fraud, waste and abuse laws, including the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Statute;
• The Prescription Drug Marketing Act;
• Laws related to “off-label” promotion of drugs; and
• Global privacy laws and regulations, including those adopted in accordance with European Union Privacy Directive and the privacy rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).

Our Company also provides its employees a mechanism for reporting illegal or unethical concerns confidentially, to the extent permitted by law, via a hotline or website. The inVentiv Health Workplace Alert Program is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week for employees to ask questions, seek guidance or raise concerns about the Company’s standards for ethical business conduct. Employees are encouraged to speak to a supervisor, HR, Legal or Compliance about such matters. However, there may be times when an employee is not comfortable with the suggested approach. For these situations, and where permitted by local law, inVentiv has established the hotline and website as a confidential communication alternative.
