Leading with Integrity and Accountability
Doing What’s Right
Doing the right thing and conducting business activities with the highest standards of ethics is foundational to our culture. We’re committed to compliance with our policies and applicable laws and regulations. Learn more about our code of conduct.
We continue to assess teammate perception of DaVita’s culture of compliance regularly and then take action to address the feedback. In 2024 our compliance team analyzed compliance culture survey results two separate times. We used these insights to celebrate teams with the strongest culture of compliance and promote awareness and leadership accountability. In 2024 we also initiated a new Compliance Champion Award, recognizing three individuals with notable achievements in compliance leadership. Moving forward, we'll continue to reinforce our commitment to compliance with all teammates and measure the impact of our work through teammate surveys.
Not only does DaVita’s compliance program help teammates navigate regulations, but it also helps teammates keep compliance top of mind and hold themselves accountable to certain ethical standards. For example, in 2024 we communicated to teammates about compliance and ethics topics more than 300 times, using approximately 20 different channels. In addition, more than 50 of those communications focused explicitly on ethics and our commitment to doing the right thing.
All teammates, guest teammates, medical directors, joint venture partners, as well as certain vendors and other third parties, must complete DaVita’s compliance training every year. This training is a critical foundation of our compliance program.
In 2024 DaVita continued to administer a learning assessment to all teammates at the end of general compliance training. The compliance department then used this data for targeted education to individual teammates to supplement their compliance knowledge and awareness.

Our Commitment to Human Rights
We are committed to respecting human rights across our value chain, as defined by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In 2022 we worked with a third-party expert consultancy to conduct a human rights impact assessment to learn more about the potential opportunities and risks relating to human rights within our global operations. The corporate-wide assessment covered the full scope of our supply chain, products and services, and operations.
Our assessment methodology included desk-based research, internal and external stakeholder interviews, and detailed analysis of salient issues and management processes. We've identified the following key groups across our value chain: our patients, teammates, third-party workers, our supply chain, community and society, and clinical trial participants.
We use this assessment 
to inform our continued efforts in support of human rights across our 
value chain.
