We are wholly convinced that the ethics that govern our business must undergo the same rigor. As a responsible health care player, we do all we can to ensure the behavior of our employees is exemplary, everywhere in the world. A code of ethics based on daily practices The Pierre Fabre Group's ethics policy is coordinated by an Ethics and Compliance Director, and an Ethics Committee was set up in 2014. The cornerstone of our ethics policy is the Group's Ethics Charter, which was deployed in 2015 and translated into 18 languages. This document was created to describe the rules applicable to all employees, to ensure they are in a position to act responsibly and make sound decisions in the framework of their day-to-day duties and work. Therefore, in addition to complying with the law, this Charter must help every employee to exercise good professional judgment and adopt the appropriate ethical behavior, to reflect our vision and values, as we continually strive to achieve sustainable development. As a member of various professional organizations in health care and beauty in France (LEEM, FEBEA, SNITEM, SYNADIET, UDA, etc.) and Europe (Cosmetics Europe, EFPIA, etc.), we have signed up to all their best practices. The Pierre Fabre Group is also represented within the French Committee for Ethics and Vigilance for Pharmaceutical Companies under the College of Industrialists composed of 3 members. As such, we participate actively in the drafting of new recommendations on responsible practices.

Substitution tests on artificially reconstructed skin in our cell culture laboratory located at our Toulouse-Oncopole innovation center. Systematic use of alternative methods available on the toxicology studies market, including molecular modeling, toxicology expert systems and imaging techniques. Financial participation in European and French research programs towards the development of alternative methods to animal experimentation. For several years, cosmetics companies, with the support of the European Commission, have been working to ensure that the ban on animal testing is adopted worldwide. To this end, Pierre Fabre has contributed to the actions carried out by Cosmetics Europe (an association of the world's leading cosmetics companies) with the Chinese authorities. As a result of these efforts, in 2020, the latter decided to revise their regulations on the import of ordinary cosmetics by allowing the replacement of animal testing with alternative methods. Cosmetics Europe is continuing its concerted action with the European authorities to ensure that the ban on animal testing is implemented globally.
