Otsuka Pharmaceutical India Private Limited (OPI) – a fully-owned subsidiary of Japanese
company, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. (OPF), Japan.
OPI has its roots in Japan and has flourished with its branches across India and in 60+
countries of the world. It has state-of-the-art manufacturing units, maintaining world-
class standards and Otsuka’s quality culture.
To be the most admired company in infusions and clinical nutrition by offering world class products to patients.
To continuously contribute to patients and healthcare professionals by providing them with useful information on nutrition therapy and creating new products. Our mission is the development of creative human resources who can break the mould.
To build the company on the values of Honesty, Initiative, and Growth.
The Otsuka Group consists of talented and dedicated individuals guided by the overarching corporate philosophy: Otsuka-people creating new products for better health worldwide. We continue to build on our proud legacy of innovation through integrity.
The Otsuka Group Global Code of Business Ethics (“this Code”) articulates our uncompromising commitment to the highest standards of ethical conduct. Embodying key guiding principles, this Code sets forth the minimum standards of conduct for all individuals of the Otsuka Group.
This Code is applied to directors, officers, employees (both permanent and contract) and temporary employees of Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries1 of Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd. In addition, we should continue to ensure that directors, officers, employees and temporary employees of affiliates of Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd., and third parties (e.g., contractors, vendors, suppliers) conducting business on Otsuka’s2 behalf understand this Code and act in compliance with this Code.
This Code applies consistently to all our worldwide business operations. We recognize that our business activities are subject to the laws of numerous countries and that each country has its own unique set of laws and policies, let alone customs and traditions. For these reasons, it is unrealistic to implement a uniform set of rules governing all possible situations in each region. However, it is our intent for this Code to be universally applicable; it reflects the borderless corporate world and transcends geographical, cultural, and linguistic barriers.
Our professional conduct should be in conformance with all applicable laws and regulations of each country where we operate. You are personally responsible for understanding and upholding the relevant laws, public policies, and professional standards relevant to your role and responsibilities. Nothing in the Code should be construed to interfere with local, national and international laws. In the event of any conflict between the Code and separately prepared regional codes and policies, you should decide which sets forth higher standards of conduct. If one requires higher standards than the other, that code should guide your behavior. Simply put, we must consistently follow the most stringent rules.
In the end, no guide can replace your conscience and common sense. Err on the side of seeking guidance if something seems intuitively wrong to you or you are uncertain of the best path to follow. We encourage you to contact the Legal/Compliance Department or any other appropriately qualified department or personnel.
____________________
1 For affiliates of which Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd. (or a subsidiary) has an ownership interest of less than 50% and for joint ventures (50/50 ownership interest), these requirements do not apply unless Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd. exercises significant control over the affiliates.
2 “Otsuka” (or the “Company”) refers to the Otsuka Group consisting of Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd and subsidiaries of Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd.
A conflict of interest arises when any personal activities or relationships (with customers, suppliers, competitors, family or friends) impair, or even appear to impair, your ability to make objective and fair business judgment for the Company. In other words, your personal interests potentially collide with the best interests of Otsuka, making it difficult for you to carry out job responsibilities impartially. We have a duty to work for the Company’s best interests and ensure that our personal interests do not intrude upon our responsibility to the Company. Accordingly, we must seek to avoid not only situations creating a personal conflict of interest but also those creating the appearance of one. In case of a possible conflict of interest, we encourage you to seek immediate guidance from the Legal/Compliance Department, which will determine what course of action is in the best interests of the Company.
A bribe is any item of value or advantage to influence action. Giving a bribe means providing, promising to provide or offering a bribe. Taking a bribe means receiving, promising to receive or requesting a bribe. Giving or taking a bribe could instantly damage our business and reputation built through our collective dedication and hard work. It can also trigger civil and criminal charges resulting in penalties such as fines and imprisonment. We must avoid even creating the perception that the Company would give a bribe to obtain or retain any business advantage.
Our company’s cross-border expansion has the potential to expose us to increased legal liability. It is our duty, as a multinational enterprise, to follow the laws of the countries where our employees, affiliates and alliances operate. As a global corporate citizen acting with integrity, Otsuka condemns all forms of bribery and corruption. We will not provide payments, items of value or advantages to influence anyone improperly, be they in the public or private sector, directly or indirectly, locally or internationally. Our legal and professional commitments include full compliance with applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws regardless of where we operate.
Employees reach their highest level of professional and personal success in a workplace where all participants feel included, respected and valued. We empower employees to achieve their full potential through a fair, open and collegial work environment, free from all forms of discrimination and harassment3.
We strive to attract, retain and develop the best talent from a multitude of backgrounds and experiences, reflecting the growing diversity of the communities we serve. All aspects of our employment practices (e.g., recruitment and hiring, work assignment, performance evaluations, promotions, transfers) embody our commitment to fair employment practices. To this end, we base all employment decisions on merit, qualifications and other job-related criteria, without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, citizenship, marital status, pregnancy, disability, or any other basis protected by applicable laws. Encouraging respectful interactions among ourselves, we act with courtesy and sensitivity toward one another. We strictly prohibit, and will not tolerate, harassment of any kind.
____________________
3 Workplace harassment includes, but is not limited to, the use of words or actions that unreasonably interfere with one’s work or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. It is unwarranted and unwelcomed conduct based on race, gender, religion, disability, or any other characteristic or group protected by relevant law.
Our pioneering spirit provides a solid foundation for who we are. As a company driven by innovation, we actively pursue creative solutions through our diverse and dynamic workforce sparking out-of-the-box thinking. Our employees bring to work their unique cultures, backgrounds, experiences and insights. We strive for an inclusive culture, embracing, celebrating, and integrating the uniqueness of each individual. In the increasingly competitive global business community, the success of Otsuka requires collaboration across various functional areas, integration of different skills and consideration of multiple perspectives. A homogeneous workplace can miss out on the fresh ideas a diversity of perspectives can bring into the organization. Our dedicated team with varied backgrounds enhances our ability, for instance, to develop products that resonate with consumers in diverse cultures. Our continued global success derives from our people’s creative minds and boundless energy.
We commit ourselves to fair and open competition on the merits of our products and services. Accordingly, we abide by antitrust laws, which promote healthy competition on a level playing field by preventing interference with a competitive market system. The laws aim to protect consumers and competitors against unfair practices such as agreements among competitors to fix prices, divide markets, allocate customers or limit the quality or production of products. At the core of antitrust enforcement lays the notion that independent entities should make independent decisions about how to conduct their business activities. An antitrust violation could trigger severe consequences such as criminal penalties and imprisonment for the Company, employees, and management.
Our vision to be a world healthcare leader includes a commitment to lead the effort in environmental protection. We all have the ability to make a difference in the local, national and international communities we serve. The responsibility to shape a cleaner, healthier environment rests with each one of us. Recognizing how our business impacts the earth, we have embedded our ecological values and practices into all aspects of our business.
We all need to familiarize ourselves with environmental practices applicable to our duties. Going beyond compliance with relevant laws and regulations, we also take a proactive approach, encouraging and pursuing environmentally sound behavior in our daily work. Every employee is personally responsible for mitigating harmful impacts of the Company’s operations on the environment. As we aim to strengthen our presence in the global marketplace, we continuously search for new and better ways to achieve sustainable development.
We have a duty to safeguard the confidentiality of the information entrusted to us not only by the Company but also by employees, contactors, suppliers, vendors, customers and others related to our business. Confidential or proprietary information obtained through employment by the Company or through providing services to the Company must be held in strict confidence and used only for legitimate business purposes. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after termination of employment or the end of any contractual agreement.
Confidential or proprietary information includes all information that is unavailable to the general public and gives the company certain competitive advantages. We must protect such information whether or not marked or otherwise designated as confidential. Never disclose any confidential matters to unauthorized persons internally or externally, even including your family members. Inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information in casual or social conversations could be just as harmful to our business. Use caution when disposing of documents with confidential or proprietary information.
We are equally responsible for respecting the confidentiality of other’s information. You must safeguard personal information and health information obtained in connection with your work with the Company in accordance with respective privacy laws and regulations. You must not acquire sensitive information related to other companies through improper means such as manipulation, misrepresentation, concealment, or breach of any non-disclosure agreement.
Otsuka is subject to various laws and regulations governing trading in its securities. It is illegal to buy or sell securities (e.g., stocks, bonds, options, derivatives) of any public company, using non-public material information4 about the company. This is called “insider trading” and illegal. Because the information remains unavailable to other investors, a person taking advantage of such information ultimately gains an unfair advantage over the rest of the market. Insider trading can trigger extremely serious consequences, ranging from internal disciplinary action to significant civil and criminal liability.

Extant regulation requires OPI to frame and establish VIGIL MECHANISM/ WHISTLE BLOWER POLICY.
Accordingly, Company has established a Whistle Blower/ Vigil Mechanism and formulated a policy in order to provide a framework for responsible and secure Whistle Blowing/ Vigil Mechanism approved by the Board and it may be periodically reviewed by the Board.
The Vigil Mechanism (Whistle Blower Policy) aims to provide a channel to the stakeholders to report genuine concerns about unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Codes of Conduct, Global Code of Business Ethics or any notified policy of the Company. The Company is committed to provide a platform/ framework under which stakeholders of the company can report their genuine concerns and grievances.
Reporting under this policy neither releases stakeholders from their duty of confidentiality in the course of their engagement with Company nor can it be used as a route for raising malicious or unfounded allegations about a personal situation.
The mechanism provides for adequate safeguards against victimization of stakeholders and also provides for direct access to members of top management of the Company, in exceptional cases.
This Policy applies to stakeholders, regardless of their location. Violation will result in appropriate disciplinary actions.

A complainant before making a complaint under this Policy ought to have a reasonable belief that an issue exists, and s/he has acted in good faith. Further, Complainant or Fact-finding body assisting in the investigation shall also be protected to the same extent as the Complainant. Any complaint not made in good faith shall be viewed seriously and the complainant shall be subject to disciplinary action as per the rules/ certified standing orders of the Company.
All Protected Disclosures should be reported in English language in writing (either typewritten or handwritten) under a covering letter and signed by the complainant as soon as the Complainant sure of the unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Codes of Conduct, Global Code of Business Ethics or any notified policy of the Company.
The envelope should be super scribed as ‘Protected disclosure under the Vigil Mechanism/ Whistle Blower Policy’ or sent through email (to: VigilMechanism@Otsukapharma.in) with the subject ‘Protected disclosure under the Vigil Mechanism/ Whistle Blower policy’. If the complaint is not super scribed and closed as mentioned above, the protected disclosure will be dealt with as if a normal disclosure.
The Company has established the following Escalation Matrix for Reporting & Investigation by Vigilance and Ethics Officer(s) of the complaints received under the Vigil Mechanism/Whistle Blower Policy, which shall report to the Board about all the outcome of the Investigation.
The complaint shall be submitted to the lowest escalation matrix, i.e. first to Head HR.
On receipt of the protected disclosure the Vigilance and Ethics Officer(s) shall detach the covering letter bearing the identity of the Whistle Blower and process only the Protected Disclosure.
Anonymous/ Pseudonymous disclosure shall not be entertained by the Vigilance and Ethics Officer(s).
The complaint shall be addressed by the recipient of the complaint (direct receipt of complaint from complainant or by escalation), preferably within 45 working days, in best possible means, keeping a justified view and considering long term interest. If the complaint is not addressed within stipulated time, the recipient of the complaint shall submit the complaint and all workings and/or findings to the next level in the escalation matrix and shall assist in addressing the complaint.
All Protected Disclosures under this policy shall be recorded and thoroughly investigated. The Fact-Finding Body shall carry out an investigation. The result of the investigation shall be informed to the Board.
The Board, if deems fit, may call for further information or particulars from the complainant and at its discretion, consider involving any other/ additional Officer of the Company and/ or Committee and/ or an outside agency for the purpose of any further investigation, if required.
The investigation by itself would not tantamount to an accusation and is to be treated as a neutral fact-finding process.
All information disclosed during the course of the investigation shall remain confidential and shall not be shared to complainant or any other employee,
except as necessary to conduct the investigation and/or to take any remedial action, in accordance with this policy and applicable law. However, the Vigilance and Ethics Officer(s) shall disclose all the relevant facts to the top management, of the Company for the Complaint, wherever the Vigilance and Ethics Officer(s) feels necessary.
If an investigation leads to a conclusion, that an improper or unethical act has been committed, the Vigilance and Ethics Officer(s) shall recommend to the Board of Directors of the Company to take such disciplinary and/or corrective action as it may deem fit. Nothing in this policy shall prevent the Executive Director(s) of the Company to take appropriate actions in good faith, in critical matters even prior to specific report to and/or approval of the Board.
Any disciplinary or corrective action initiated against the Subject as a result of the findings of an investigation pursuant to this Policy shall adhere to the applicable personnel or staff conduct and disciplinary procedures.

The Complainant, Fact Finding Body, or any person who has access to the information related to the Complaint received under this policy shall maintain confidentiality of all matters under this Policy, discuss only to the extent or with those persons as required under this policy for completing the process of investigations and keep the papers in safe custody.
No unfair treatment will be meted out to a Complainant by virtue of her/him having reported a Protected Disclosure under this Policy. The Company, as a policy, condemns any kind of discrimination, harassment, victimization or any other unfair practice being adopted against a Complainant. Complete protection will, therefore, be given to the Complainant against any unfair practice like retaliation, threat or intimidation of termination/ suspension of service, disciplinary action, transfer, demotion, refusal of promotion or the like including any direct or indirect use of authority to obstruct the Complainant’s
right to continue to perform her/his duties/ functions including making further Protected Disclosure. The Company will take steps to minimize difficulties, which the Complainant may experience as a result of making the Protected Disclosure. Thus if the Complainant is required to give evidence in criminal or disciplinary proceedings, the Company will arrange for the Complainant to receive advice about the procedure, etc.
While it will be ensured that genuine Complainants are accorded complete protection from any kind of unfair treatment as herein set out, any abuse of this protection will warrant disciplinary action.
Protection under this Policy would not mean protection from disciplinary action arising out of false or bogus allegations made by a Complainant knowing it to be false or bogus or with a mala fide intention.
Complainants, who make any Protected Disclosures, which have been subsequently found to be mala fide, frivolous or malicious, shall be liable to be strictly prosecuted.
The Complainant shall have right to access of the Board directly in exceptional cases and the Board is authorized to prescribe suitable directions in this regard.
This Policy cannot be effective unless it is properly communicated to the Stakeholders. Stakeholders shall be informed through by publishing on the intranet and the website of the Company or any other common platform.
All Protected Disclosures in writing or documented along with the results of investigation relating thereto shall be retained by the Company for a period of 7 (seven) years or such other period as specified by the relevant law in force, whichever is more.
