THE MERCK WAY - Merck KGaA

26
WE’RE ON THE RIGHT PATH.
BUT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
The Merck Way means taking responsibility, setting quality standards,
and continuing to actively shape the future with new and big
ideas. We’ve been resolutely pursuing this path together with our
customers, business associates and employees since 1668. To this
very day, working in close cooperation with customers, placing
trust in each other, and living shared values have made our unique
success story possible. And this success story continues. On the
preceding pages we have already presented our corporate philosophy
and business model.
Taken together, all these elements and aspects are what makes
Merck unique. We call it the Merck Way. It’s about the creative
power of people and scientifi c curiosity, coupled with the desire
and the will to improve life. It will continue to lead us into an
exciting and successful future. And if we were to use a universally
understandable phrase to summarize the guiding principle that is
fueling our success – that phrase would be:
MERCK. LIVE A BETTER LIFE.
