Our reputation is one of our most valuable assets. Our reputation is dependent on the confidence of our customers, our partners, our employees and all other stakeholders that we conduct our affairs responsibly and transparently. Thus, we believe that to be successful in achieving our business objectives we need to ensure that all our activities and our behaviour towards our stakeholders are characterized by responsibility and high ethical standards. Responsibility is multifaceted:
We market our products to healthcare professionals and we ensure their availability for patients through market access activities with Healthcare Payers. We aim to provide the appropriate information to those who need it, to support the safe and effective use of our medicines.
Adherence to a strict code of ethics when promoting our products is one of our top priorities. It is an important part of our commitment to patient health and safety and critical to maintaining trust in our company as a responsible business partner.
We adhere to the latest Code of Conduct of KEFEA, which is the local body of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). Everyone at C.G.Papaloisou is required to be aware of, and conduct their activities in accordance with the codes and all the laws and regulations of Cyprus.
Patient safety is of paramount importance to us. During any product-related activities to Healthcare Professionals, we ensure that they have access to the latest product information. This allows them to assess both efficacy and safety when prescribing our products.
The continued safety monitoring of medicines after their launch is an essential part of our responsibility to patients. We have in place a pharmacovigilance system which adheres to the Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP) to ensure the appropriate and timely handling of all adverse events reported by healthcare professionals and others. All C.G. Papaloisou personnel are annually trained in the relevant procedures to reinforce their role in making medicines safer.
Additionally, the storage and distribution of our products is handled by Marathon Distributors, which employs Good Distribution Practices (GDP) in order to safeguard their quality.
Our responsibility naturally extends to the environment.
We participate in the Green Dot collective system for reclaiming and recycling of the packaging materials of our products and for disposing obsolete pharmaceutical products. We make every effort to minimize office and warehouse waste (e.g. paper products, plastic, electronic equipment etc) and forward through appropriate channels for recycling and proper disposal. We dispose of expired pharmaceutical products through specialised companies to prevent environmental pollution with harmful chemicals.
Our offices and warehouse were designed and built with energy efficiency as a high priority.
We believe that commercial success is dependent to a great extent on our employees. We aim to recruit and retain people of a high professional calibre and to be recognized as a leading employer in the pharmaceutical sector in Cyprus.
We strive to create an environment in which individuals can add value and participate in the growth and development of our company. As a responsible employer, we offer attractive rewards and benefits, career development and training opportunities.
At the same time we expect our employees to always act responsibly, to respect all laws and regulations and adhere to the industry codes of conduct.
