Mission and Values & Code of conduct
Our Mission and Values
The mission of Sorin Group is to be a recognized global leader in haemodynamics, and a true innovator in cardiac-rhythm management. To achieve this mission, we must continue to lead our industry in terms of professionalism and business conduct, and in how we fulfill our social responsibilities within our wider communities. We also live by strong values:
- We commit to the highest standards in ethical behavior with our customers, our shareholders, our co-workers, our suppliers, as well as with healthcare, financial and regulatory institutions;
- We commit to understanding, anticipating and meeting the needs of customers and patients;
- We seek to create new sources of value for customers and patients by constantly delivering innovative products and services;
- We commit to the highest quality and operational-excellence standards;
- We treat patients, customers, employees, suppliers and members of our communities with the utmost respect at all times, appreciating and valuing diversity.
Our reputation has a value to our stakeholders that goes far beyond the balance sheet. Therefore, our employees, customers, patients, regulatory and governmental interlocutors, as well as our shareholders, have the right to expect the highest ethical, legal and moral standards from Sorin.
Sorin considers proactive compliance with this Code to be vital to the health of our company. Of course, as a multinational headquartered in Italy, specific national aspects of corporate governance are covered here, and the Code will constitute a fundamental element in our Internal-Control System.
No single Code of Conduct can cover the enormous variety of legal and regulatory requirements applicable in the many countries where Sorin does business. Nevertheless, Sorin is a global leader in its sector and insists upon strict compliance with this Code wherever we do business around the world.
In short, as CEO of Sorin S.p.A., I demand the highest standards from our Group, and reward passion for fair and ethical business.
