At Ivoclar, innovative products and convincing solutions are essential. And so is the way we do business, too. Through our commitment to ethics and compliance, we help ensure that dental professionals, distributors and patients can place their trust not only in our products, but also in our business practices. Dental professionals rely on solutions that support safe, predictable treatment outcomes. Distributors rely on transparent, dependable collaboration. And patients place their trust in the professionals and companies involved in their dental care.
“At Ivoclar, we believe that trust is shaped not only by the performance of our products and services, but also by how we make decisions, how we work with business partners and how consistently we uphold our responsibilities. This is why ethics and compliance are an integral part of our business and our long-term success."

As a global dental company, Ivoclar operates across diverse markets and regulatory environments. For customers and business partners, this commitment creates confidence that Ivoclar is dedicated to responsible business practices – aligned with applicable laws and regulations, as well as with the principles of fairness and integrity.
Ethics and compliance are firmly embedded in Ivoclar’s governance.
- The Ethics & Compliance Board brings together relevant expertise to oversee the company’s compliance approach, address significant topics and support ongoing improvements. Its role is to help ensure that integrity remains an active part of corporate decision-making.
- But Ethical conduct requires more than policies. Mandatory and regular training as well as guidance help employees understand their responsibilities, recognise potential risks and make sound decisions in their everyday work.
- A strong compliance culture also depends on openness. Ivoclar encourages employees to raise questions and concerns early whenever they encounter uncertainty or observe conduct that may not align with our standards.
- Alongside direct points of contact within the organisation, Ivoclar provides the Tell Me reporting and whistleblowing system. It enables concerns to be reported confidentially and anonymously. Every report is reviewed carefully and fairly, regardless of hierarchy or function. This helps us recognise potential issues early, take appropriate action and learn from them.
For Ivoclar, ethics and compliance are not separate from innovation. They are what give innovation lasting value: the assurance that solutions are developed, delivered and supported by a company that acts responsibly. This is how we build trust in every interaction – with dental professionals, distributors and patients. By working together for integrity, we strengthen the confidence that makes long-term partnerships possible and helps move dentistry forward.
“Our Code of Business Conduct and internal policies provide a shared framework for responsible action worldwide. They guide us in areas like anti-corruption, data protection, export controls, manufacturing requirements and interactions with healthcare professionals.”
