Compliance challenges for the life sciences industry

Comliance officer challenge5

As a compliance professional in life sciences, it can feel like you’re facing an unfair fight. You must navigate a complex web of regulations from entities like the FDA, Therapeutic Goods Administration, and European Medicines Agency. New regulations, such as the German Supply Chain Act (LKsG) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), extend your obligations to third parties and suppliers.

Your responsibilities cover product safety, clinical trials, data privacy, and managing compliance across extensive supply chains. Ensuring a strong ethical culture and acting with integrity in all business dealings is crucial. This involves implementing robust compliance policies and training programs, managing conflicts of interest, gifts, entertainment, and disclosures with pharmacies, healthcare providers, and government entities.

Key areas of compliance in life sciences

Life Science companies are complex enterprises. There are many areas of compliance, ethics, and risk that need to be managed, spanning everything from Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Anti-Bribery And Corruption (ABAC). These include:

  • Supply Chain Due Diligence: Ensuring suppliers and partners comply with relevant laws and standards.
  • Product Safety and Quality: Maintaining high standards for product safety and quality, including compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
  • Transparency in payments: Recording monetary payments or other “transfers of value” (conference travel, speaking engagements, consulting assignments, etc) and reporting these annually in compliance with the Sunshine Act. 
  • ABAC Compliance: Upholding anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and standards.
  • Data Protection: Safeguarding sensitive information in an increasingly digital landscape and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations, including HIPAA and GDPR.
  • Pharmacovigilance: Ensuring the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products.
  • Environmental Compliance: Minimizing the environmental impact of operations.
