We believe transparency is an important part of our ongoing collaboration with the health care community, helping to build a community of trust and respect with healthcare professionals, patients, industry peers, stockholders and the public.
EFPIA
Biogen strongly believes that collaboration with Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Healthcare Organisations (HCOs) is crucial to discover, develop and deliver innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients. At the same time, we believe that these interactions must be conducted openly and transparently.

In line with the codes, Biogen has been collecting all payments and contributions made to HCPs and HCOs since January 2015.

Healthcare Professional Support
Biogen strongly believes that collaboration with Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) is crucial to discover, develop and deliver innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients. At the core of this relationship is the ability to share knowledge in order to improve patient outcomes. At the same time, we believe that Biogen’s interactions with HCPs must be conducted openly and transparently, as embodied by the principles of the EFPIA Disclosure Code and the ABPI Code of Practice.
To this end, Biogen supports the decision to publicly disclose the payments and contributions made to HCPs. By committing ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and accountability, we look to lead our industry in building trust with the communities we serve.
