Compliance and Ethics

At C. R. Bard, Inc., we are guided in all aspects of our business by our four Core Values:
Quality, Integrity, Service, Innovation.

These Core Values are rooted in principles of ethics, honesty and compliance.  We have a long history of serving the clinical needs of our customers and the patients who use our products.  We value their trust, and strive to earn that trust every day.

To this end, the BARD Business Ethics Policy guides our daily business activities.  All BARD employees worldwide are expected to be familiar with the Business Ethics Policy, review it regularly, and comply with it in all business dealings.  You can review a summary of our Business Ethics Policy here.  The full text is also available here.

BARD's commitment to ethics and compliance only begins with the Business Ethics Policy.  BARD has implemented a comprehensive Compliance Program to help ensure that we stay abreast of all laws and standards that govern our business and respond appropriately to the evolving demands of the compliance environment in the healthcare industry.  Click here for a description of BARD's Compliance Program.
