Ethics & Compliance

Ethics & compliance is a growing concern for companies, but it is also an opportunity to clarify roles and responsibilities, align practices and better manage interactions with third parties

The pharmaceutical industry is facing increased regulation in France (the Bertrand Law), Europe (EFPIA Code of Conduct), the US (the Sunshine Act) and globally (with different local and regional regulations).

To protect their reputation and foster credibility, companies are under intense pressure to invest in the complete redesign and clarification of internal policies, in training staff regarding policies and implementing reporting, validation and regulatory processes as well as suitable software.

Thanks to its business and sector expertise, BearingPoint supports its clients in addressing the challenges they face, from policy definition to operational implementation:
