BUSINESS ETHICS
PTS-MED expects its employees to uphold the highest standards of ethical behaviour and integrity. We are convinced that ethical and economic values are interdependent and therefore call on all employees to act in accordance with the standards set by national and international authorities.
Our business ethics and integrity ensure our credibility. All PTS-MED companies and employees have to conform to the laws and regulations in force in their countries and perform their obligations reliably. They must be mindful of honesty and fairness in their work and demand the same from their business associates.
WHY DO WE HAVE A CODE OF CONDUCT?
PTS-MED’s employees work different countries, come from many different cultural backgrounds and speak dozens of languages.
We are proud of our global workforce and its diversity gives us a competitive advantage. Despite our differences, PTS-MED employees all share a defining sense of personal integrity that guides our behaviour in the markets where we do business and sets us apart from our competition. Our Code of Conduct expresses our strong collective and individual commitment to integrity and provides practical guidance to our workforce, our suppliers and business partners in how we conduct business worldwide.
We live in a fast-paced and ever-changing world where technology continues to transform our work. Complex and often confusing laws and regulations govern our global business. Customers seek faster, more comprehensive and simpler solutions. In this exciting period of accelerating change, we want our Code of Conduct to be a clear reminder of our constant pledge to be accountable and act always with unyielding integrity.
FIVE INTEGRITY PRINCIPLES
1 We behave and do business in an ethical way;
2 We work in safe and sustainable way;
3 We build trust with all stakeholders;
4 We protect PTS-MED’s assets and reputation;
5 We speak up and do not retaliate.
PTS-MED CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT
To grow and be successful, PTS-MED depends on the trust of its employees, customers and shareholders, as well as the communities and societies that it serves. The bedrock of that trust is integrity – an uncompromising commitment to adhere to the highest standards of ethical business conduct.
