Building trusted, sustainable, equitable business practices

We foster a healthy business through trusted and responsible relationships with our employees, customers, partners, and stockholders. Across our Company, we strive to establish efficient, equitable, transparent, and compliant business practices that drive long-term, sustainable growth.

Our Healthy Business sustainability actions are aligned with the UN SDGs "3: Good health and well-being" and "8: Decent work and economic growth".

Our focus areas

At Dentsply Sirona, we pride ourselves on upholding the highest standards of ethics and compliance. We view robust governance as central to our reputation as a trustworthy business and our ability to provide our customers with quality products they can count on. Our Global Ethics & Compliance team is responsible for assessing and mitigating risks, updating our Company policies, and ensuring responsible marketing, advertising, and sales activities. In line with our commitment to Advancing with INTEGRITY, in 2024 we launched our first annual Ethics & Compliance Week and updated our Ethics & Compliance Hotline - ensuring that any employee, business partner, or customer can anonymously report suspected misconduct or unethical behaviour.

Dentsply Sirona is committed to following the highest ethical standards when engaging with its customers. To this end, our Ethical Customer Interaction Policy requires all engagements to be compliant with all applicable laws and regulations and conducted with transparency and honesty.

As a global business, we operate in line with the UN International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We also support freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of forced or compulsory labour, the abolition of child labour, and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment.

Our data protection standards mean that we collect, use, retain, and disclose any personal data in a fair, transparent, and secure way. We vet our contractors, suppliers, joint ventures/co-promotion partners, and research or licensing partners to ensure they align with our ethical governance expectations, such as protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and continued availability of data.

Our focus on quality is central to our business and to our interactions with all Dentsply Sirona stakeholders including our customers and their patients. We continue to evolve as we follow our Quality Begins with Me journey, and this mindset is embraced by our employees. We were pleased to launch our first global Quality Day in 2024, which saw employees from all sites around the world come together to celebrate progress, align on next strategic steps, and be inspired by quality success stories from customers and patients sharing their transformational treatment experiences.

Dentsply Sirona’s pre-approved political engagements aim to enable the Company to operate a business model whereby we can continue our mission to increase access to oral healthcare.
