In 1995, Baxter became one of the first companies to adopt formal corporate governance guidelines. At Baxter, re-examining our practices and setting new standards is an ongoing process. Today's corporate governance guidelines reflect that process.
Directly tied to Baxter's approach to values-based decision making is its
widely lauded Ethics and Compliance program, which is built around the concept
of integrity. Baxter's Code of Conduct is a guide for employees and
suppliers, available in multiple languages, to help explain the universal
principles governing our business.
