CODE OF CONDUCT
CODE OF EMPLOYEE CONDUCT
The Board of Directors of Mission has adopted this Code of Ethical Conduct (“Code”) for its
directors, officers, and employees. This Code was adopted to express the commitment by the
leadership of Mission to fair and honest dealings with employees, vendors, and health care
providers.
Honest and Ethical Conduct: Employees are expected to perform their job duties with honesty
and the utmost integrity. Honest conduct is considered to be conduct that is free from fraud and
deception. Acting with integrity includes avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships.
Disclosure: Mission’s employees will not knowingly:
➢ Make or direct another person or entity to make materially false or misleading entries in
Mission’s financial statements or records;
➢ Fail to correct materially false and/or misleading financial statements or records;
➢ Sign a document containing materially false and/or misleading information; or
➢ Falsely respond or fail to respond to specific inquiries from Mission’s members of
management, its independent auditor or its outside legal counsel.
Compliance: It is Mission’s policy to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Mission employees must also comply with the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Health Care
Professionals and avoid any appearances of inducing physicians to write prescriptions for Mission
drug products. All drug marketing materials shall contain a fair balance of information and only
reflect approved drug claims for FDA-approved drugs. No off-label claims shall be made by a
Mission employee.
Reporting: Employees shall report any known or suspected misconduct to their
supervisor/manager. Employees are encouraged to use Mission’s Anonymous Reporting System
by calling (800) 255-6387, extension 301, to report breaches of this Code or a violation of a law,
policy, or procedure. Employees will not be retaliated against for reporting in good faith any
suspected illegal or unethical behavior.
Accountability: All employees are expected to work in a cooperative manner with
supervisors/managers, co-workers, customers, and vendors. Employees will not be discourteous
or disrespectful to a customer or any member of the public while in the course and scope of Mission
business.
