Code of Conduct

Our Commitment

At Landcent, we accelerate the fight against diseases of poverty, starting with malaria. We develop and deliver solutions that prevent, diagnose, and treat these diseases, addressing both local realities and systemic barriers to health.

We are committed to acting with integrity, respect, and accountability in everything we do. Our Code of Conduct sets out the ethical standards we expect from everyone who represents Landcent and guides how we work with our partners, suppliers, and the communities we serve.

Landcent supports and complies with the United Nations Supplier Code of Conduct and aligns with international standards on human rights, labour, the environment, and anticorruption.
