Human Rights of Our Employees

Respect for human rights is essential for our business to thrive in a sustainable way. This is one of the reasons we promote and protect the rights of our employees. But we also recognize that companies such as Merck can play a major role in helping to realize rights by helping to develop infrastructure and services where these are lacking. If we can further justice, equal opportunity, and dignity without discrimination wherever we operate, we believe that we can make more progress in promoting economic development, building the basis of our business and be recognized as one of the best employers to work for.
