Supplier Guidelines

Abbott's Supplier Guidelines address our expectations regarding ethical behavior, human rights, animal research, environmental stewardship, and health and safety practices. These guidelines are widely communicated across our businesses and translated into multiple languages.
Abbott's quality management framework extends to third-party companies that manufacture products on Abbott's behalf. Where appropriate, we assist important suppliers in implementing quality initiatives.
