Code of Ethics & Business Conduct

Ethical conduct is crucial to the success of our business. The fact that Olympus enjoys such an excellent reputation all over the world today is to a large degree due to the fair and honest actions of our employees. We will only continue to prosper in the future by adhering to our own ethical standards as well as national and international laws.

With the introduction of the Code of Ethics & Business Conduct, Olympus Europe has created an infrastructure that enables employees to obtain advice or confidentially report infringements of Olympus’ ethical principles.
