Code for transparency
Janssen has a track record of delivering innovative and sometimes lifesaving medicines to society based on our research and our co-operation with doctors, medical scientists, hospitals and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) as well as with healthcare organisations (HCOs). This co-operation has delivered great outcomes for patients.
In June 2013, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) formally adopted the ‘Code on Disclosure of Transfers of Value from Pharmaceutical Companies to Healthcare Professionals and Healthcare Organisations’ in an effort to further self-regulate the way pharmaceutical companies collaborate with HCPs or their organisations when value transfer (such as fees for consultancy services or educational grants) is involved.

Why a disclosure of Transfer of Value Code?
In June 2016, Janssen along with other pharmaceutical companies who are members of EFPIA, published transfers of value made during 2015, such as financial support provided to HCPs to attend educational meetings, fees for services provided to Janssen by HCPs or educational grants to HCOs. Moving forwards, transfers of value will be published in June on an annual basis for transactions made during the previous calendar year.
