We are building trust through quality in everything we do.

We focus on maintaining high ethical standards within our organisation and across our value chain, strengthening ethics and compliance through continuous development, training and certifications and upholding the principles of universal human rights and safeguarding against modern slavery practices within our organisation and with our suppliers.
We are committed to conducting our business with the highest ethical standards and responsibility, with no tolerance for bribery or corruption of any form. Hikma implements strong measures to prevent, deter, and detect bribery and corruption across all parts of its business.

Hikma's auditing and monitoring programme involves collaboration across various internal and external functions to ensure effective oversight and compliance. Multiple internal functions play a crucial role in monitoring compliance, maintaining quality and process integrity, and ensuring adherence to regulations and internal policies. Internal and external audits provide independent assessments of Hikma's operations, thereby validating our various compliance efforts.
This integrated approach aims to create a resilient framework which upholds the highest ethical standards, and promotes transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Our Code of Conduct sets out behaviours we expect from our employees as we conduct our business, and provides an overview of our legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements.
Our Code of Conduct provides guidance to our employees and partners on the ethics of Hikma’s business activities through the identification and discussion of various risks associated with the business.
Hikma employees, officers and directors are trained on the Code of Conduct as part of their induction and employment. All employees undergo annual refresher training.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out our values and principles that define what we stand for, along with the high-quality standards we expect from our ourselves, partners and suppliers. This code underpins our efforts to continue to strengthen our relationships, empower collaboration and build trust between us and everyone we work with, driving improved performance across our value chain.
Supplier Code of Conduct - Arabic
We believe in promoting a culture of compliance that encourages employees and third parties to raise any concerns about alleged violations of laws and regulations, or other behaviours or incidents that they believe, in good faith, do not comply with our Code of Conduct or Company policies and procedures.
Hikma is committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. We want employees to feel comfortable in approaching their supervisors, management or Human Resources in instances where they believe violations of policies or standards have occurred or may occur.
In situations where reporters prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, our Speak Up platform provides both internal and external stakeholders a resource to raise concerns (confidentially and anonymously). Reports to the Speak-Up line may be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in multiple languages via our hotline, hosted by Ethics Point.
