Compliance
Our Compliance Committee monitors our company-wide adherence to laws, regulations and internal policies. To do so, the committee, which is comprised of senior PerkinElmer personnel, receives regular reports from a diverse group of representatives from our major areas of compliance focus, including Health and Safety, Human Resources, Insurance/Risk Management, FDA/Quality and more. It then contributes to PerkinElmer's overall compliance program, advocating training opportunities, budget requests and other risk-reducing initiatives to ensure our program is well communicated and supportive of lawful and ethical business practices.
Dealer Code of Conduct
In order to communicate PerkinElmer’s standards for ethical and lawful business conduct to those third parties with whom we engage around the globe, we have developed a Code of Business Conduct for Dealers and Agents. This document summarizes the values and principles that PerkinElmer expects of those third parties as they conduct business relating to PerkinElmer.

We partner with suppliers to support the aims and objectives of the Dodd-Frank Act regarding the use of "conflict minerals" in the materials we purchase. Read more about our commitment to continue working with our supply chain on this important issue.
