Transparency at Dentsply Sirona

We believe a healthy business is built through responsible, transparent practices.

The compensation of some senior leaders within Dentsply Sirona is tied to ESG factors.

We adhere to the highest ethical standards in all our practices, and ensure we comply with all the relevant laws and regulations that govern our interactions with healthcare professionals.
