A Message from Our CEO
In 1996, Amgen established a set of core values—focused on science, ethics, teamwork, and collaboration—to guide our growing company. Nearly 30 years later, those values remain just as essential. They continue to serve as our North Star as we navigate a fast-changing world, helping us stay true to our mission: to serve patients.
Today, as we serve patients in more than 100 countries and plan for the next decade of innovation, these values are more than a reflection of who we are—they are a blueprint for how we lead. Together with our mission, aspiration, strategy, and leadership attributes, they form the foundation of our social architecture and define our culture at Amgen.
Our Code of Conduct brings these principles to life. It’s a resource to help each of us make ethical decisions and speak up when something doesn’t seem right. Your voice matters. Raising a concern in good faith is not only encouraged—it’s required. And you can do so knowing you’ll be supported at every step. That’s how we protect each other, uphold the law, and live our values.
As we chart the course for the future, our shared values will continue to guide us. You cannot lead in human health and biotechnology unless you lead with ethics, transparency, and a deep commitment to doing what’s right.
Thank you for your continued dedication to living these values every day.
