RDPAC CODE

A major requisite for innovation is integrity, which is also the foundation of reputation. Without ethical decision-making, there is no true innovation.

As the first pharmaceutical industry organization in China to attach great importance to compliance, and as a member and an active player of the global pharmaceutical industry association network, RDPAC has continuously strived to reflect the latest standards of international pharmaceutical industry associations, using the Code of Practice of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) as its foundation in doing so. At the same time, RDPAC has kept abreast of the latest requirements of Chinese laws, regulations and policies, and the cutting-edge developments in business practices and compliance controls in China's pharmaceutical industry, providing member companies with the latest and highest standards of compliance based on best practice. Adherence to the RDPAC Code of Practice has also been made a precondition for companies to join RDPAC. Furthermore, RDPAC is supportive of the member companies’ intention to develop and implement their more stringent in-house codes of practice on this basis.
