Promoting a culture of transparency and accountability, ALK encourages employees, suppliers, vendors, consultants or others with a work-related relationship with ALK to raise serious and sensitive concerns using our whistleblower hotline, ALK Alertline.
We provide annual Code of Conduct training for all employees. In 2025, 99% (2024: 98%) of employees across all functions completed the training.
When developing new treatments, we conduct tests on animals to ensure that patients receive safe and effective medicines. We only use animals for research purposes when no scientifically valid alternative exists.
In 2025, we introduced an animal welfare policy, formalising ou commitment to the highest standards of animal welfare within research and development activities.
We are committed to the 3R principles (Replace, Reduce, and Refine). All research complies with relevant national and international regulations, including the EU Directive on protection of animals used for scientific purposes, and Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) guidelines, with equivalent standards upheld globally.
