Compliance & Integrity
The PENTAX Medical compliance program is based on the foundation that all employees must take ownership of our compliance practices.
Our compliance program represents a shared undertaking from all levels of the company to achieve our business goals with the highest levels of integrity.
Our program includes oversight by the HOYA Board of Directors, risk assessments, policies and procedures, trainings and communications, open door approach for reporting concerns, monitoring and auditing, and independent compliance resources.
PENTAX Medical Code of Conduct
As a division of HOYA Group, PENTAX Medical complies with the HOYA Code of Conduct. We are committed to lawful and ethical conduct wherever we do business. The Code reinforces the principles that are fundamental to PENTAX Medical’s culture, vision, and values – and how we do business every day.
This Code reiterates the key elements of many of our company policies and provides helpful examples and FAQs for certain situations. However, there is no substitute for good judgment and most importantly, we ask all our employees to reach out to their manager, Human Resources, Compliance or Legal department with any questions.
Michael Kim, Global Chief Compliance Officer, PENTAX MedicalI’m proud to do my part every day to ensure that PENTAX Medical is committed to a culture of compliance.
Our Code Strictly Expresses:
1. Never violate the Code, even if asked to do so by a manager or another employee.
2. Sacrifice profit if it means violating the Code.
3. Not allow improper practices of other companies to influence our commitment to the Code.
Maha Guruswamy, President, PENTAX Medical APACIntegrity is all about what we do, even without anybody monitoring it, without anybody saying it. Compliance is all about what is the rule of the land and the rule of the company that we follow strictly to ensure we are doing the right thing.
