In 1995, Baxter became one of the first companies to adopt formal corporate governance guidelines. At Baxter, re-examining our practices and setting new standards is an ongoing process. Today's corporate governance guidelines reflect that process.
Directly tied to Baxter's approach to values-based decision making is its widely lauded business practices program, which is built around the concept of integrity. Baxter's global business practice standards are a guide for employees and suppliers, available in 18 languages, to help explain the universal principles governing our business.
