Human Rights Commitment

As a global biotechnology company committed to social responsibility and sustainability, Genmab strives to comply with all laws, regulations, and standards applicable to the conduct of its business.

While governments have a duty to protect the human rights of their citizens, we recognize that businesses also have a critical role to play. Genmab is dedicated to conducting business in a way that respects the dignity of all people. We have high ethical standards and aim to conduct business with organizations and within countries that share our ethics and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights.

Our commitment to human rights is guided by international laws that govern human rights as well as the key tenets of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Genmab's responsibility to supporting human rights is underpinned by our core values, anchored by our Code of Conduct, and operationalized by global business practices and policies that address responsible supply chain management, ethical business practices, data privacy policies, health and safety procedures, anti-bribery and anticorruption policies, and enabling access to medicines.

  • Fair, non-discriminatory employment practices and the prohibition of any form of forced, indentured, slave or child labor.
  • Compensation and benefits programs are market-aligned and comply with applicable laws including those focused on minimum wage, overtime hours and mandated benefits.
  • A diverse workplace environment where all employees are valued, safe and can freely express ideas.
