Ensuring health, safety and quality
Sustainable businesses are built by ensuring there is a serious focus on health, safety, and quality throughout the value chain. Here at BioMar, we never compromise when it comes to keeping our employees safe and in good health. Naturally, we are also highly focused on food safety, quality, and nutritional value.
BioMar’s first priority is that all employees return to their families without injury.
Commitment to our planet

We set ambitious targets and welcome broad collaboration when it comes to protecting our planet. After all, we only have one planet and keeping it safe requires shared action.

Business Ethics
Welcoming competition
We promote free competition. We believe that being in an industry with strong competitors, reinforces our overall mission to do our very best and thus maintain our leading position in the market. Therefore, we actively promote a culture where all employees and managers know how to facilitate fair collaboration with our stakeholders.
Protecting BioMar interests
Everyone employed by BioMar must safeguard the interests of our company as a part of their duties. Our business model fully empowers both our employees and with this freedom comes responsibility. Hence, we reinforce the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest and while trusting the judgement of our employees.
Information protection
We expect everyone within the BioMar family to protect sensitive business information and personal data. We govern our data in solid systems and ask our people to protect information according to relevant governmental legislation. Protecting your information is of high importance to us which is why we have implemented GDPR and Cookies Policy across all our operations.
The BioMar Speak-Up Line
If any BioMar employee or third party believes that there has been a breach or suspected breach of applicable laws, our Code of Conduct, or our policies and standards, we encourage you to use the BioMar Speak‑Up Line.
The Speak‑Up Line is a secure and confidential reporting channel available to both employees and external stakeholders. It allows you to raise concerns safely, either with your name or anonymously, where permitted by law.
All reports are handled confidentially and reviewed by BioMar’s Ethics Committee, composed of appropriately trained senior leaders and/or specialists, with sufficient independence and authority. If a report involves a member of Executive Management, a Board member, or a member of the Ethics Committee, it will be escalated to independent external legal counsel.
We encourage reporting in good faith and would much rather receive a report that turns out to be unfounded than risk not addressing a serious issue.
No tolerance for retaliation
We want you to feel comfortable speaking up or asking for advice. BioMar does not tolerate any retaliation against anyone reporting a problem or assisting in an investigation.
Speaking up, raising a concern, and asking for help shows courage and sometimes what holds us back is a fear of the reaction of others. Any instance of retaliation against an employee or an external party for reporting a concern should be reported.
Please note that deliberate false accusations will not be tolerated. Further, reporting an issue does not remove responsibility for your own actions. Employees and Third Parties are still accountable for any misconduct.
All reports will be initiated as soon as reasonably possible, and normally within 30 days of receipt. BioMar will provide feedback to the reporter within a reasonable timeframe, and no later than 60 days from acknowledgement, or within any longer timeframe allowed by law for more complex cases.
Speak-Up Line
If you suspect a breach in our code of conduct, policies or any law, let us know.
The BioMar Speak-Up Line is not an Emergency Service. Please do not use this site to report events presenting an immediate threat to life or property. Reports submitted through this service may not receive an immediate response.
If you require emergency assistance, you must contact your local emergency services and/or authorities.
