How To Use This Code
DaVita’s Code of Conduct helps teammates make the right choices.
Each of us is responsible to act in a manner that reflects our Core Values. This Code is meant to help
us conduct business in a legal, ethical manner that is consistent with our Core Values and to guide our
understanding of DaVita’s compliance structure, key policies and procedures and certain applicable laws
and regulations. The standards described in this Code apply in all countries where we conduct business.
We are subject to the laws and regulations of the country in which we work. In addition, because our parent
company, DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc., is a U.S. company, U.S. law may apply to conduct that occurs
outside the United States (for example, anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws). If you are unsure about which
policies and procedures or laws and regulations apply to your activities, consult your supervisor, Team Quest
(Compliance), the Legal team (Justice League of DaVita or JLD). We also hold our business partners, affiliated
physicians, vendors and other third parties to the same standards and expect them to comply with DaVita’s
policies and procedures, all applicable laws and regulations, and this Code.
