Ferrer is Recognized for Its Best-in-class Ethics and Compliance Program
Ferrer has achieved Compliance Leader Verification™, the prestigious recognition granted by Ethisphere, which distinguishes the pharmaceutical company as a global leader in upholding ethical and responsible corporate practices in its business operations.
Ethisphere is a leading organization dedicated to advancing ethical business practices, and its recognition acknowledges organizations with an outstanding commitment to robust ethics and compliance programs.
The Compliance Leader Verification™ was awarded after an extensive and rigorous review conducted by Ethisphere’s verification team. This process included a current state analysis referencing Ferrer’s responses to Ethisphere’s Ethics Quotient® (EQ) questionnaire, benchmarking Ferrer’s ethics and compliance program against the World’s Most Ethical Companies®, document review, and interviews with executives and team members across the organization.
Specifically, Ferrer’s performance was evaluated on six key areas: program resources and structure; perceptions of ethical culture; written standards; training and communication; risk assessment, monitoring and auditing; and enforcement, discipline, and incentives.
The verification—currently considered a global standard of excellence—acknowledges organizations that implement best practices in business integrity. This milestone highlights Ferrer’s commitment to business ethics, sustainability, and transparency in all its processes, going beyond legal standards through exemplary management practices.
“We are extremely proud to have achieved this recognition, which reflects our commitment to the highest standards of integrity and business ethics and reaffirms our purpose: using business as a force to fight for social justice,” said Meritxell Casas, Chief Legal, IP & Compliance Officer at Ferrer. “This honor is a testament to the tireless work of our team in integrating ethics and integrity into every aspect of our operations.”
According to Jodie Fredericksen, Senior Compliance Counsel from Ethisphere, “This recognition underscores Ferrer’s leadership and commitment to excellence in ethics and compliance. Our team was impressed with their dedication to fostering a corporate culture based on transparency and accountability, practices that serve as a model for organizations worldwide.”
