Letter from Anna Richo, Amgen’s Chief Compliance Officer:

Anna Richo, Amgen's Chief Compliance Officer

Amgen has earned a well-deserved reputation for being a model corporate citizen by conducting itself in the highest ethical manner. Conducting business ethically and ensuring compliance with the laws and regulations that govern our business supports our mission to serve patients. As an Amgen staff member, I am very proud of our excellent compliance track record. Amgen’s leadership, including its Board of Directors, is committed to promoting an ethical culture.

As Amgen’s Chief Compliance Officer, I oversee our Worldwide Compliance & Business Ethics Program, which is driven by our Values. At Amgen, it’s everyone’s responsibility to Do The Right Thing by conducting business ethically. There are a number of resources available to help staff members Do The Right Thing, including: Amgen’s Code of Conduct; compliance websites and training courses; Amgen's compliance policies; guidance from managers and dedicated compliance professionals; and Amgen's Business Conduct Hotline.

We recognize that there is a broad range of stakeholders who have an interest in how we manage and operate our business. We are pleased to share with you an overview of our Worldwide Compliance & Business Ethics Program.
