Mission and values

Polpharmа’s mission is to constantly strive for excellence in delivering high quality pharmaceuticals. Our highest values are human life and health. We care for the quality of our products and harmonious coexistence with the natural environment. We ensure patients’ wellbeing and propagate the rules of preventive medicine. We help physicians fulfil their vocation by supporting them in expanding their medical knowledge. We follow the rules of honesty and professional ethics. We respect the needs of our employees, business partners, local communities and social organisations. Everything we do is driven by integrity and professionalism. We support the development of Polish science and numerous social undertakings.

Corporate Social Responsibility of the Polpharma Group

We have observed the rules of corporate social responsibility since the firm began — before anyone used the acronym CSR. Our activity in this field intensified after 2000, when our company was privatised using Polish capital. For the last dozen or so years, we have been proving the value of following the idea of sustainable development by harmoniously reconciling business objectives with the needs of stakeholders: employees, patients, the medical and scientific community, customers, suppliers and local communities.

In 2014, we decided to systematise our CSR initiatives. We selected three key areas of CSR: serving patients and society, ethical business conduct and innovations and the advancement of knowledge.

Responsibility

We all feel responsible for our workplace and the quality with which we perform tasks. We fulfil our obligations with diligence and commitment. We care for company property and protect it from excessive risk. By keeping commitments and respecting trade secrets and confidential information, we form a credible and trustworthy organisation. We pay particular attention to the safety and quality of our products. We feel responsible for ensuring constant availability of the products we manufacture, in particular life-saving drugs.

Fairness and honesty

Strict observance of the provisions of law serves as the basis for the Polpharmа Group’s trustworthiness and reputation. In each country in which we operate our employees are required to know and adhere to the applicable legal requirements. For us, honesty is also about acting in accordance with acceptable ethical rules and good practice. This is reflected by the way we communicate and compete on the market and by honest and trustworthy advertising and promotion of our products.

Solidarity

We offer help and support to people who are ill and suffering. We strive to constantly improve our therapeutic solutions in accordance with the highest standards of the pharmaceutical market. Solidarity with another human beings makes for the fact that we see our work as service and commitment.

Cooperation

We value teamwork based on knowledge and diverse competences of all employees and organisational units of the Polpharmа Group. We build our company’s position using experience and openness to new ideas, which serve as the basis of our innovativeness. We value open communication and dialogue. Our goal is to constructively achieve agreement and build partner relations. We strive for achievement of our common goals, supporting each other in the implementation of our plans. The cooperation between people, teams and all entities which form the Polpharmа Group is the reason for our success on the market. It also enables the reinforcement of mutually beneficial relations with business and social partners.

Respect

We all feel responsible for our workplace and the quality with which we perform tasks. We fulfil our obligations with diligence and commitment. We care for company property and protect it from excessive risk. By keeping commitments and respecting trade secrets and confidential information, we form a credible and trustworthy organisation. We pay particular attention to the safety and quality of our products. We feel responsible for ensuring constant availability of the products we manufacture, in particular life-saving drugs.
