It is the responsibility of every Amgen staff member and temporary staff member to avoid conflicts between his or her personal interests and the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest exists any time an individual permits the prospect of personal gain to improperly influence the manner in which he or she conducts the Company’s business. Amgen prohibits conduct that actually constitutes a conflict of interest, as well as conduct that could be perceived as creating a conflict of interest with Amgen’s interests.

Examples of conflicts include misuse of an individual’s position within the Company for his or her personal gain; outside employment with a competitor of the Company; referral of Company business to a firm controlled by the individual or the individual’s family or a person with whom that individual has a close, personal relationship; and soliciting any gratuities, or receiving greater than nominal gratuities, from customers or suppliers of the Company. These examples are by no means exhaustive. Please refer to Amgen’s current Conflicts of Interest Policy for additional details regarding the policy and the obligations of individuals subject to the policy.

Because many situations may appear to involve conflicts of interest, staff members should feel free to discuss any potential conflict with their manager.

Amgen’s Conflicts of Interest policy applies to every Amgen staff member and temporary staff member, at all Amgen sites.
