be: an innovative company which enjoys the pride of its
employees and deserves the lasting trust of its partners.

Our aim as a leading

We do this in a responsible and ethical manner and with a

Values:
Service to Patients and
Customers
A prime objective of Taj
Pharmaceuticals is to meet the patients' and customers' needs
for high quality products and services. This implies
identifying and solving their problems and anticipating their
future needs by maintaining close contacts with them and
listening to what they say. Our commitment includes full
respect for patients' individual rights.
Respect for the
Individual
We believe that the success
of our company depends on the combined talents and performance
of dedicated employees. For this reason, we want:
-
to build respect for the
individual into all our work by ensuring that all members of
the organization understand their responsibility to respect
each other's rights and dignity;
-
our people to develop
their talents and make optimal use of their abilities and
potential and to encourage information-sharing and open
dialogue;
-
to provide recognition
based on performance and contribution to Taj
Pharmaceutical's success;
-
to promote diversity and
equal opportunities;
-
everyone in the
organization to work under optimal conditions of health and
safety.
Commitment to
Responsibility
We want to meet high
standards of performance and corporate responsibility in all
our activities and we apply our Corporate Principles in our
dealings with business partners. We are committed to
selecting, developing and promoting employees and managers
with self-drive and empathy who:
-
combine professional
competence with a leadership style that motivates people to
high performance;
-
have an open mind and a
sense of urgency, understand the needs of the company and
have the courage to question conventional wisdom;
-
have the flexibility
required to broaden their experience;
-
live these corporate
principles in their decisions and actions.
Commitment to Performance
We aim to continuously
create value for our stakeholders and to achieve sustainable,
high profitability. We do this in order to maintain our
commitment to research, to ensure our growth and independence,
to provide employment opportunities, to cover risks and to pay
an attractive return on invested capital.
Commitment to Society
We want to maintain high
ethical and social standards in our business dealings, in our
approach to medical science, in our efforts to protect the
environment and ensure good citizenship. We will maintain
these standards by adherence to local, national and
international laws and co-operating with authorities and in
proactively communicating with the public. We support and
respect the human rights within the sphere of our influence.
We recognize the need to work in partnership with our
stakeholders, regularly seeking their views and taking them
into account.
Commitment to the
Environment
As part of our commitment
towards sustainable development we proactively seek to employ
new, more sustainable technologies and processes and to
minimize our impact on the environment.
Commitment to Innovation
Innovation across all
aspects of our business is key to our success. Being active in
high-technology fields, we must recognize new trends at a very
early stage and be open to unconventional ideas. We see change
as an opportunity and complacency as a threat. We therefore
encourage everywhere in the company the curiosity needed to be
open to the world and new ideas.
Continuous Improvement
We are committed to
benchmarking our principles and achievements against the
industry and best practice; this includes transparent
reporting. We will continue to put in place directives and
processes that enable us to implement each of our Corporate
Principles.
