Social Charter
In April 2007, the Executive Board enacted the Merck Social Charter. It reinforces our claim to treat all employees fairly and in compliance with local laws and regulations. In the following areas, we have committed ourselves to certain standards that apply to all our sites worldwide:
Occupational health and safety
Wages and salaries
Working hours
Freedom of association
Non-discrimination and equal opportunity
No child labor
No forced labor
Prevention of abuse and harassment
Prevention of bribery and corruption
