Dear Colleagues, When I started my career in the pharmaceutical industry, I was driven by the promise of helping improve patients’ lives, having experienced firsthand the power of therapeutics as a child with an unexplained illness. As president and chief executive officer of Emergent, I believe we have great opportunities in front of us. Whether it’s increasing access to NARCAN® Nasal Spray to help combat the opioid epidemic or continuing to deliver life-saving medical countermeasures to customers around the world, Emergent provides critical products to address global health crises. Our work is guided by our values: Lead with Integrity, Stand Shoulder to Shoulder, Own It Always, Break Through Thinking, and Compete Where It Counts. Equally, we are committed to abiding by one code of conduct and business ethics — Our Code. Our Code outlines the ethical principles that unite our diverse company and support our vision, mission, and values. It gives practical advice on maintaining quality and compliance, working with integrity, and always doing the right thing, the right way, every time. It’s written with extensive input from employees across the company, capturing our passion and purpose. Every day, each of us owns decisions that add up to making a big impact on people’s lives: military personnel, first responders, and everyone who may be in a position to help save a life from an opioid overdose emergency. For every single person touched by our work, we operate with an unwavering commitment to honesty, integrity, and quality. We recommit to Our Code every single workday. We apply our ethical principles to all of our business decisions and actions. We do so because we are Emergent. And we put people first. Sincerely, Joseph C. Papa
