Eurofins Core Compliance Documents

Eurofins is built on values of integrity and reputation. Our clients trust us in areas that are very sensitive for them, and they expect the highest level of integrity, trustworthiness and competence from each Eurofins laboratory and each Eurofins employee.

Compliance with these values and all associated laws, regulations and policies is the outcome of an organisation meeting its obligations, and is made possible and sustainable by embedding this attitude in the culture of the organisation and its people. Embedding compliance in the behaviour of all the people working for an organisation depends above all on leadership and clear values, as well as an acknowledgement and implementation of measures to promote compliant behaviour.

The Group’s Mission, Vision and Values provide the basic foundation of how entities within the Eurofins Group shall do business. Within this framework, we expect our leaders to act as role models for all employees. The Group Leadership Charter outlines the behaviour we expect from them.

The Eurofins Group Code of Ethics, as the central compliance document, provides short yet precise high-level instructions for every Eurofins employee. It also outlines how to seek guidance and report breaches of the principles laid out in the code (whistleblowing).

Eurofins’ strong commitment to compliance and ethical behaviour is confirmed and strengthened in a number of more detailed statements and policies, which further expand on the principles laid out in the Eurofins Group Code of Ethics:

• The Eurofins Group Anti-Bribery Policy
• The Eurofins Group Modern Slavery Statement
• The Eurofins Group Fair Competition Policy
• The Eurofins Group Equal Opportunities and Fair Employment Policy
• The Eurofins Group Health and Safety Policy
• The Eurofins Group Privacy Policy
• The Eurofins Group Policy on Ethical Behaviour at Laboratories (with Examples of Prohibited Behaviour and Information about Whistleblowing Channels)
• The Eurofins Group Policy on Ethical Behaviour during Audits, Inspections and other Offsite Operations
• The Eurofins Group Supplier Code of Ethics
• The Eurofins Group General Terms of Purchase

All documents listed on this web page are jointly forming the Eurofins Core Compliance Documents.

Eurofins has a whistleblowing point of contact that is readily accessible for all employees via Eurofins’ intranet, but also on Eurofins' website, via this link. This point of contact is intended to encourage and enable employees and/or external parties to confidentially raise serious concerns so that Eurofins can address and correct inappropriate conduct and actions that breach the Eurofins Group Code of Ethics.
