Arthrex Compliance Policy
We always compete vigorously. However, we must take care to avoid
any unlawful or unethical conduct. Such conduct undermines the trust
that our customers place in us and their trust is the foundation of our
success. As a manufacturer of medical devices, we follow the applicable
industry codes including AdvaMed (which governs interactions with
HCPs in the US), EucoMed (governing Europe), as well as others. In
some regions, local laws and industry codes may be more stringent than
this Code; in those cases, the most stringent laws or codes apply. If an
event involves individuals from more than one country (for example,
an HCP from one country receiving product training in another), you
should take care to comply with the requirements of both countries,
to the extent they apply. The purpose of these industry laws and codes
is to ensure medical decisions are based on the best interest of the
patient and that the collaborative business relationships of medical
device manufacturers meet high ethical standards and are conducted
with appropriate transparency and in compliance with applicable laws,
regulations, and government guidance.
We carry out our duties and responsibilities in a fair,
objective manner. We make legal and ethical business
decisions in the best interest of our company, free from
personal or external interests. Conflicts of interest can
occur anytime your personal interests might benefit from
your actions or influence as an Arthrex® employee.
Outside business interests with our vendors, suppliers,
customers or competitors are a particular cause of
concern. Having outside business interests that interfere
with your obligation to devote your time and attention
to your job responsibilities, or behaving in a manner
that reflects adversely on Arthrex, can result in a conflict
of interest. If an employee or their immediate family
member(s) have any outside interests as noted above,
the employee is obligated to disclose this information
to their manager when consistent with local laws. It is
important both to disclose relevant facts before you, or
your immediate family members, become involved in or
acquire a financial interest in an outside business and
to take any actions we require to resolve any potential
conflict of interest that is identified.
