Corporate Governance
At Alcon, we believe that how we conduct business says a lot about our company – thus we strive to operate with a high level of honesty and transparency. This commitment to being transparent, upfront and forthright has become the foundation for all that we do.
Dedication as a Corporation
Alcon is dedicated to continually earning the trust of patients and physicians who look to us as an industry leader in protecting, preserving and restoring sight; therefore we are all committed to ensuring that the highest standards of ethics are followed in the conduct of business each and every day. By practicing sound principles of corporate governance, Alcon is ensuring positive future growth and continued success on a corporate level. See more information on our Corporate Governance.
Creating Shared Value
Alcon is majority owned by Nestlé S.A. and as such we conduct our business in accordance with the Nestlé philosophy of creating shared value and corporate social responsibility.
"Creating Shared Value is a very different approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR), because it is not focused on meeting a set of standard external criteria, or on philanthropy. The idea of winners and losers doesn’t fit this model of CSR."
Mark Kramer, Harvard University
