Code of Business Ethics: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals

As a leading player in the medical technology industry, BioSud is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all its business practices. This Code of Business Ethics outlines our principles and guidelines for conducting business in a responsible and transparent manner.

Gifts and Donations

BioSud’s policy on gifts and donations aims to ensure that our relationships with healthcare professionals are based on mutual respect and trust. We prohibit the acceptance of gifts or donations that could influence professional judgment or compromise the integrity of our relationships.

  • Principles:
    • Gifts should not create any obligation of reciprocity.
    • Actions should be able to withstand public scrutiny.
    • Costs should be modest.
  • Restrictions:
    • We restrict gifts to items related to healthcare practice or education, avoiding those that may personally benefit healthcare professionals.
    • Donations are only permitted for specific purposes, such as supporting scientific research, patient care, or public education.

BioSud is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries where we operate. We recognize that compliance with legal requirements is essential to maintaining our reputation and trust among stakeholders.

  • Responsibilities:
    • BioSud Associates must be aware of regulatory requirements governing their specialty.

    • Unfair competition methods and deceptive acts are discouraged.
    • No false or misleading statements should be made about products or competitors.
