Vision 2025 (2020)

To respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and to set a modern vision for business ethics and integrity in the health sector, Vision 2025 was launched in partnership with patients and patient organizations, healthcare providers and professional organizations, health ministries and regulatory agencies, SME and economic ministries, anti-corruption authorities, medical device and biopharmaceutical industry organizations, researchers and academia, manufacturers, third party sales and marketing intermediaries (such as distributors, wholesalers, and sales agents) from across the APEC region.

Endorsed by APEC Ministers in October 2020, Vision 2025 sets ambitious targets for the sector, building upon over a decade of work advancing ethical business practices across the region.
