Key Principles
- We do not base decisions on past, present or future use of Coloplast products.
- We do not provide support to individual healthcare professionals (HCPs).
- We maintain strict compliance with global laws, industry codes (e.g., MedTech Europe, Adva Med), and internal policies.
- We do not support religious, political or professional athletic organizations or any entity that may pose a reputational risk.
What We Support
Support may be provided in the form of monetary contributions, product donations, and/or in-kind support.
Grants
Educational Grants to training institutions and other Third Party entities support their legitimate educational and training programmes and activities. Research Grants provide support for research that advances medical and scientific knowledge. The Third Party must retain independent control over the research without influence of Coloplast. Coloplast does not provide unrestricted, general Research Grants.
Donations
Charitable Donations may only be made to bona fide non-profit organisations or charities to support bona fide charitable activities. General Donations include community Donations rovided to help prepare and develop the next generation of healthcare industry professionals in communities where Coloplast has a nearby office location, by awarding Donations to organisations that offer educational programmes focused on developing STEM or medical industry-related skills.
Sponsorships
Third Party Programmes are genuine, independent, educational, scientific, or policy-making conferences organised to promote scientific knowledge, medical advancement or the delivery of effective healthcare consistent with guidelines established by professional societies or organisations (e.g., conferences organised by medical associations/societies, hospitals, professional conference organisers, patient organisations or accredited CME providers). If a Sponsorship includes elements of a Grant or Donation, the relevant Committee must approve.
