Suppliers play an important part in our success. As such, we request that, in the course of conducting business with Genentech, suppliers refrain from conduct that is outside our ethical boundaries.
We expect our suppliers to adhere to our code of conduct, and practice the following ethical standards:
- Avoid the intent or appearance of unethical or compromising conduct.
