Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. has obtained ISO 37001:2016 certification for its Anti-Bribery Management System

This certification, obtained through the collaboration of a dedicated cross-functional team, confirms Chiesi’s commitment to operate in accordance with the highest compliance standards and ethical behaviors. It is also a recognition of the robustness of the anti-bribery system implemented by the Company and the high level of awareness of its collaborators.
