Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programme

About GSK's Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programme
GSK's Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programme was established by the Board of Directors to support GSK's commitment to high standards of ethical conduct. The programme is under the direction of the Corporate Ethics and Compliance Officer, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer. Through the programme the Corporate Ethics and Compliance staff provide oversight and guidance to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and company policies, and to foster a positive, ethical work environment for all employees.

Integrity helpline
Corporate Ethics and Compliance manages the Integrity helpline, a service that provides a channel for reporting to GSK alleged breaches of any legal or regulatory obligations, financial fraud, including accounting, internal controls and auditing, or any alleged contravention of GSK's Code of Conduct or corporate policies.

The helpline is a confidential, toll-free number available to all GSK employees, contractors and vendors, and interested outside parties. Calls are not recorded or traced, and callers may remain anonymous (caller ID has been disabled). People in the US and Canada may call toll-free 1-866-GSK-ETHICS (1-866-475-3844) during normal business hours (ET). Callers outside the US should contact the AT&T operator for assistance in dialing the toll-free number. In the UK, people may call the freephone number 0800 783 5567.

Non-retaliation
GSK recognises that employees may be reluctant to report concerns for fear of retaliation and considers the link to Corporate Ethics and Compliance as a valuable communication channel for employees. GSK will take disciplinary action against any employee who threatens or engages in retaliation, retribution, or harassment of any person who has reported or is considering reporting a concern in good faith.

GSK's Code of Conduct
GSK's Code of Conduct is the foundation for all the company policies. It sets out the fundamental principles that the company values and that employees should apply in their daily work. Supporting the Code of Conduct policy is a range of corporate policies providing specific guidance in areas such as competition law, marketing practices, non-discrimination, share dealing, and conflicts of interest. GSK's employee guide to business conduct highlights the Code of Conduct, core compliance policies and provides guidance to employees. It is the responsibility of each employee to implement the code and follow the employee guide to sustain the trust and confidence of all GSK stakeholders.
