About Emergent
At Emergent, we help prepare for today’s health challenges and tomorrow’s threats. For over 25 years, we’ve been at work preparing those entrusted with protecting public health. We deliver protective and life-saving solutions for health threats like smallpox, mpox, botulism, Ebola, anthrax and opioid overdose emergencies.
As of January 2026, we have 11 products and approximately 900 employees across the United States, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. We have delivered our products to more than 20 countries.
Our Supply Chain
As a global company, our supply chain is complex and we have suppliers across the world. In 2025, Emergent worked with approximately 1,500 suppliers across 12 countries. As stated in our Supplier Code of Conduct, we expect suppliers to commit to respecting human rights and honoring the highest standard when applicable laws and regulations differ.
Based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor, which does not identify pharmaceutical products among high‑risk goods, and the UN Global Compact’s Business & Human Rights Navigator, which highlights agriculture, extractive industries, and low‑wage manufacturing as higher‑risk sectors, the risk of forced or child labor in core pharmaceutical manufacturing is generally considered low. Nevertheless, we recognize that instances of forced or child labor can still occur, particularly in regions with weak labor regulations and enforcement mechanisms.
We require our suppliers to comply with all applicable safety and health laws and regulations in the countries in which they operate. Additionally, they are expected to provide employees with a healthy and safe workplace, including access to clean, safe and reasonable working conditions. This commitment ensures a safe working environment for all employees.
Our Policies
Our mission to protect and save lives goes beyond the products and services that we deliver. We act as good global citizens, which includes prohibiting engagement in human trafficking, child labor or modern slavery.
In addition to maintaining a Combatting Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) plan, a Supplier Code of Conduct, an employee Code of Conduct and a Government Contracting Policy, Emergent promotes awareness of the prohibition of human trafficking through the following communications and training:
- All employees complete training on and agree to abide by Emergent’s Code of Conduct & Business Ethics annually.
- Targeted Combatting Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) training.
- Department of Defense (DoD) posters are present in the break rooms/copy rooms of our facilities, as well as on our intranet.
- Human Resources sends an annual communication with links to DoD posters to all employees.
Due Diligence and Risk Management
Emergent conducts reasonable, risk-based due diligence of third parties, including Emergent’s subcontractors and agents through quality audits and monitoring against risk and compliance criteria. We will not knowingly conduct business with subcontractors or agents which participate in human trafficking.
Violation of our policies or applicable law by subcontractors or vendors, service providers, agents, contractors or consultants may result in termination of the relationship and any additional legal remedies available to Emergent. Violations of CTIP requirements may include notifications to the applicable regulatory authorities, as appropriate.
Reporting Concerns
As part of our Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct, we require that employees and/or suppliers promptly report any allegations or concerns of human trafficking, child labor or modern slavery through our established Speak Up channels.
