Ethics and Compliance

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is designed to identify enterprise-wide risks that pose a threat to Elanco operations, our strategy and our business objectives.​ The ERM program is facilitated by the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer with internal program oversight provided by the Elanco ERM Core Team comprised of cross-functional executive officers and senior leaders. Enterprise risks are assessed and prioritized based on their impact to our strategy and objectives as well as their likelihood of occurrence. ​Mitigating action plans are developed by risk owners and sponsors for each enterprise risk.​ Reviews occur quarterly and annually to identify changes to current risks as well as new or emerging risks.​ The Elanco Executive Committee and Board of Directors provide oversight of enterprise risks, and they receive quarterly updates regarding progress on our mitigating action plans and annual updates regarding Elanco’s enterprise risk profile.

Our Policy

We earn and maintain the trust of those we serve by acting with integrity, in accordance with our mission and values, everywhere we operate.

We recognize that bribery, fraud and other acts of dishonesty are a betrayal of that trust, so we don't offer, provide, authorize or accept anything of value—or give the appearance that we do—in order to inappropriately influence a decision or gain an unfair advantage.

Our commitment to operating with high ethical standards extends to all business relationships, dealings and activities all over the world.

Our Program

As part of our anti-corruption and third-party management program, Elanco is committed to compliance with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws globally. Elanco conducts anti-corruption due diligence (ACDD) on third parties with whom we do business and that meet certain pre-determined criteria.  ACDD helps Elanco ensure the third party is trustworthy and shares a commitment to doing business the right way. The process screens these third parties prior to Elanco engaging in work with them to look for common "red flags" that may signal corruption, and we renew the ACDD screen for third parties on a regular basis.  Through contractual provisions, Elanco requires third parties to abide by our Business Partner Code of Conduct, located on our Supplier page, which outlines Elanco’s expectations for suppliers to act legally, ethically and abide by the Elanco values of integrity, respect and excellence. 

Elanco also has policies, procedures, business processes and resources for conflicts of interest, grants, donations, sponsorships, gifts, meals and entertainment. Our annual global Code of Conduct training ensures awareness of this program for all employees. The internal Ethics and Compliance Network supports implementation, execution, consultation and monitoring of this program.
