As a pharmaceutical company, we have worked intensively to support research and foment knowledge and prevention of certain diseases. For us, a well-informed society is a healthier society.
Furthermore, our economic development must be compatible with proper conduct in relation to ethics, society, the workplace, the environment and respect for human rights. We think of society as a group of individuals with equal rights and opportunities.
In order for this commitment to materialize, we have developed the Sustainability Policy on Environmental and Social Matters, the Integrated Management Policy (Environment and Occupational Health and Safety), the Code of Ethics and the Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report.

In addition, we cooperate with the University of Granada on R&D&i and training projects within the framework of various projects supported by the Technological Corporation of Andalusia (CTA) and the Centre for Technological and Industrial Research (CDTI), and hold agreements with the Biomedical Research Centre of the CSIC and the University of La Rioja.

Our society needs the pharmaceutical industry to be able to make the best medicines possible available to it. To attain this objective, it is necessary to invest in both Research and Development and training, and close co-operation with healthcare professionals and organizations and patient organisations is required.
This co-operation must be transparent and society must feel confident that it stems from the need to develop new medicines and to constantly keep healthcare professionals updated on new scientific evidence and how it is applied in clinical practice, all of which has the common purpose of providing patients with better attention.
The pharmaceutical industry has a Code of Practice that regulates relations between the industry and healthcare professionals and organizations and patient organisations, ensuring that these relations are rigorous, objective and independent. This Code is revised from time to time to include improvements derived from experience in its practical application and the demands of our society.
