Corporate Governance

Responsible Supply Chain Management

SYNLAB is a values-based company, with accountability being one of our three core values. We fulfill our mission with sustainability and integrity as guiding principles. Therefore, environmental protection, human rights and occupational health & safety standards are key to our sourcing practices.

Code of Conduct

Reliability and integrity have become key concepts in modern corporate governance. This is because sustained business growth is only possible when a firm is able to trust in the reliability of its shareholders, customers, suppliers, and staff – locally and globally. Gaining such confidence can only be achieved by consistently upholding high standards of social and ethical conduct. This Code of Conduct (the "Code of Conduct") is intended to establish clear standards for all SYNLAB Members.

The Third-Party Speak-Up Policy is intended to encourage and enable business partners and their respective employees as well as other third parties to report established or suspected breaches of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) and violations against SYNLAB’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
