Ethical conduct
GlaxoSmithKline provides grants and sponsorship to programs and organizations that foster increased understanding of scientific, clinical, and healthcare issues, and contribute to improving patient care.
We believe that transparency about our support helps build trust with our stakeholders.
We now publish a quarterly report on this website which details our financial support to US based health-related organizations. This includes grants to organizations such as hospitals, teaching institutions, managed care organizations, professional associations, patient advocacy groups, and continuing medical education companies located in the US and Puerto Rico.
Our policies ensure that our contributions and donations are not tied to any prescribing, purchasing, or recommendations for our products. We also ensure that our support is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the guidelines and standards set by ACCME, ACPE, AMA, AAMC, CCRN, FDA, and the PhRMA Code.
