Naleving en integriteit
Het nalevingsprogramma van PENTAX Medical is gebaseerd op het uitgangspunt dat alle medewerkers verantwoordelijkheid moeten nemen voor onze nalevingspraktijken.
Ons compliance programma is een gezamenlijke inspanning van alle niveaus van het bedrijf om onze zakelijke doelen te bereiken met de hoogste mate van integriteit.
Ons programma omvat toezicht door de Raad van Bestuur van HOYA, risicobeoordelingen, beleid en procedures, trainingen en communicatie, een opendeurbeleid voor het melden van problemen, monitoring en audits, en onafhankelijke compliancebronnen.
PENTAX Medical Gedragscode
Als onderdeel van de HOYA Group houdt PENTAX Medical zich aan de HOYA Gedragscode. Wij zetten ons in voor wettig en ethisch gedrag, waar we ook zaken doen. De gedragscode versterkt de principes die ten grondslag liggen aan de cultuur, visie en waarden van PENTAX Medical - en aan de manier waarop wij elke dag zaken doen.
Deze Code herhaalt de belangrijkste elementen van veel van onze beleidsregels en geeft handige voorbeelden en FAQ's voor bepaalde situaties. Er is echter geen vervanging voor een goed beoordelingsvermogen en het belangrijkste is dat we al onze werknemers vragen om contact op te nemen met hun manager, de personeelsafdeling, de compliance afdeling of de juridische afdeling als ze vragen hebben.
Onze Code Strikt Uitdrukken:
1. Overtreed nooit de Code, ook niet als een manager of een andere medewerker daarom vraagt.
2. Offer nooit winst op als dat betekent dat je de Code moet schenden.
3. Sta niet toe dat ongepaste praktijken van andere bedrijven onze inzet voor de Code beïnvloeden.
Onze inzet tegen omkoping en corruptie
PENTAX Medical verbiedt elke vorm van ongepaste betaling en onderneemt strikte actie om omkoping en corruptie te voorkomen. PENTAX Medical heeft wereldwijd het HOYA anti-omkopings- en anticorruptiebeleid aangenomen om onze anti-omkopings- en anticorruptie-initiatieven af te dwingen en te versterken en ons nalevingsprogramma is ontworpen om nalevingsproblemen te voorkomen, op te sporen en aan te pakken.

Risk assessments are conducted systematically and serve as a key element in updating policies, procedures, and training to better mitigate risks. By continuously adapting the compliance program to real‑world challenges, PENTAX Medical reinforces its commitment to proactive and effective compliance management.
Third Party Management
PENTAX Medical, a subsidiary of HOYA Corporation, maintains a risk‑based third‑party compliance program led by Global Compliance function and overseen by the Chief Compliance Officer, with regular reporting to the HOYA Board of Directors. All PENTAX Medical distributors are subject to risk‑based due diligence prior to engagement, including screening for bribery and corruption risk, sanctions exposure, and export control laws and regulations. In addition, all distributor agreements include contractual safeguards such as clauses for anti-bribery and anti-corruption, export, and termination, as well as audit rights. Higher-risk partners undergo enhanced due diligence screening.
Following onboarding, all PENTAX Medical distributors are required to complete compliance training and annual certifications. PENTAX Medical’s third party compliance program includes ongoing monitoring, automated re-screening against global watchlists, and audits for cause. Allegations of misconduct are addressed through formal intake, investigation, and remediation procedures. Any allegations of wrongdoing can be reported directly to PENTAX Medical’s compliance team or anonymously through its hotline that is managed by an independent provider.
This structured approach reflects PENTAX Medical’s commitment to responsible distributor oversight, ensuring third parties operate in line with our ethical standards and regulatory obligations across all markets.
