Position on Human Trafficking and Slavery
NXGN Inc. is committed to a work environment that is free from human trafficking, slavery and unlawful child labor in its supply chains. Our commitment to environmental and social responsibility and our respect for human rights is reflected in the values and high standards of ethics expressed in the NXGN Inc.

These standards remain at the core of every decision NXGN Inc. makes, including decisions about its supply chain. Through our partnerships with suppliers and distributors that share our values, NXGN Inc. encourages socially responsible citizenship.
