At PharmaVision, our policy on combating bribery and corruption has been established in line with our “GQP 22.2 Code of Ethicalprinciples and Business Ethics” procedures. Our primary objective is to safeguard our ethical values, uphold the utmost standards of business conduct and ensure transparency and accountability across all facets of our operations. Our company adopts a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption. In this regard, we expect full compliance from all employees, including the Board of Directors, as well as our business partners, suppliers and all other stakeholders engaged in our operations.
Under our corporate policy:
•The implementation and updating of the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy fall under the authority, duties and responsibilities of the Ethical Principles and Compliance Committee.
•The offering or acceptance of valuable gifts, benefits, or donations is strictly prohibited under company policy. Such actions, when intended to influence business decisions, secure contracts, maintain existing relationships, or procure any form of unfair advantage, are categorically banned. The company maintains a zero-tolerance stance towards bribery in all forms and any engagement in such conduct will be deemed completely unacceptable.
•Any action or decision that could potentially result in a conflict of interest, or is in violation of our company's ethical standards, will not be tolerated within business operations. All activities are conducted in full compliance with ethical principles and company policies.

•Our company expressly forbids any donations to political parties, politicians, or candidates, the use of company resources for political purposes, employees making such requests or permitting such activities in the workplace.

These training programs are designed to enhance awareness regarding ethical principles and legal responsibilities, while also contributing to the effective management of potential risks.
•It is a mandatory requirement for all companies from which goods and services are purchased or sold, including business partners, to fully comply with the established ethical standards and legal regulations. Any business relationship with individuals or organizations found to be in violation of these principles will be immediately terminated.
• Reporting suspected instances of bribery and corruption is essential.
