Our Credo Values

ETHICON consistently applies the values and standards of Our Credo, a statement of our ethical code of conduct, to ensure we fulfill our responsibilities to the patients and Healthcare Professionals who use our products.

Aligned with Our Credo, ETHICON has further defined how we work with Health Care Professionals by implementing corporate guidelines to ensure honesty, transparency and integrity in all our interactions with Healthcare Professionals.

Our corporate guidelines, known as Health Care Compliance, are endorsed by The Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ASGBI) and are adhered to by all ETHICON employees. The scope of Health Care Business Integrity encompasses a wide range of business practices such as marketing activities, charitable contributions, educational training events and hospitality.

Our Health Care Compliance and Business Conduct policies ensure the focus of our interactions with Health Care Professionals remains focused on the genuine benefits our products bring to patients. In the interests of patient care, we work closely with Healthcare Professionals to communicate our policies and we continue to support efforts by medical device industry bodies and professional groups to implement guidelines industry wide.

All ETHICON employees complete Healthcare Compliance training as part of their induction and recertification training throughout their development. We have a dedicated Healthcare Compliance Team, outwith our Sales and Marketing function, who manage the implementation of our Healthcare Compliance policies.
