Our Policy
ECO Animal Health Group Plc (ECO) is opposed to slavery and human trafficking in any part of its business or supply chain. We are therefore committed to ensuring that we have suitable procedures and actions in place to identify and prevent these practices.
Our Business
ECO develops, registers and distributes pharmaceutical products for the global animal health markets. ECO is a public company, trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and is headquartered in the UK, employing over 200 people across 15 global offices. We are a semi-virtual company, making extensive use of contract research organisations and third-party manufacturers to conduct our research projects and produce our products. We sell in over 70 countries via subsidiaries, joint ventures, joint operations and third-party distributors.
Our Supply Chains
