DEAR AVANOS EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS,
Our vision – being the best at getting patients back to the things that matter – is a noble one, but with all the uncertainty in the world, it can be easy to lose our way. That’s why it’s so important to have guidance – a “North Star” – to help us exercise good judgment in our day-to-day work lives.
The Avanos Code of Conduct is your North Star – a guide to understanding Avanos’ expectations and a primary resource to consult if ethical issues arise with co-workers, patients, customers, suppliers, competitors or the general public. All Avanos employees should be familiar with both our Code and our global policies, many of which are referenced within the Code.
Remember, you are not alone – others are here to help you along the way. Instead of wondering and worrying about a question or concern, you can talk to your team leader, your Human Resources business partner, or anyone in the Compliance or Legal Departments at any time. You can also contact the Compliance and Ethics Helpline with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Michelle Ryan Scharfenberg
Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer
