Bio-Rad Interactive Code of Business
Ethics and Conduct (iCode)

Dear Colleague,

Bio-Rad has a long history of providing high-quality products and services that advance scientific discovery and improve healthcare. Through the years, the company’s success has been guided by our commitment to integrity in everything we do. That means conducting ourselves in a professional and ethical manner and complying with applicable laws and regulations worldwide.

The revised and interactive “Bio-Rad Code of Business Ethics and Conduct” addresses new laws, rules, regulations, and standards of conduct. It also includes references to policies and procedures that are necessary to ensure the high ethical standards in which we conduct our business.

I hope you will find the Code to be a practical and user-friendly resource. For each subject covered, you will find helpful definitions and important concepts, along with key expectations and related materials including videos that all work together to help you gain a greater understanding of the topic and its importance to you and to Bio-Rad.

The Code applies to employees, officers, and directors at Bio-Rad as well as its subsidiaries worldwide. Where appropriate, these policies may also extend to contractors and other third parties who may represent Bio-Rad.

Please take the time to carefully review this Code interactive website to better understand how the related policies and procedures apply to you on a daily basis. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with your supervisor or manager. You may also discuss any questions you might have about the Code with Human Resources, Legal, or Corporate Compliance.

No matter what your role is at Bio-Rad, every one of us plays a vital part in upholding Bio-Rad’s long-standing reputation for integrity and quality.

I expect everyone to abide by this Code and continue to operate with the highest integrity to ensure the continued success of Bio-Rad.

Thank you, Norman Schwartz

President & CEO Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
