Manufacturing and Distribution
Gilead uses a combination of company owned facilities and strategic third-party partners to manufacture and distribute products worldwide.

Supplier Code
At Gilead, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct; we expect the same of our suppliers. This Supplier Code of Conduct (hereby “Supplier Code”) reflects the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment. It should be considered against the backdrop of Gilead’s corporate core values of Integrity, Teamwork, Accountability, Inclusion and Excellence. We expect every supplier to read, understand and agree to the Code and its application to the performance of their supplier responsibilities.
The integrity and reputation of Gilead depends on the honesty, fairness and integrity of not only our employees but the suppliers and third parties that help support our day-to-day activities. In addition to complying with applicable laws, each of us is required to apply common sense, together with our own highest personal ethical standards, in making business decisions where there is no stated guideline in the Supplier Code. Unyielding personal integrity is the foundation of corporate integrity.
