We are making our organization leaner
In the future, the divisions at Merck will assume global responsibility for their businesses. The Group will steer corporate development, take over central administrative tasks and services, and consolidate administration, legal and compliance tasks. The individual legal entities in the countries will implement the regulations defined by the divisions and Group functions.
We are enhancing our efficiency
Based on investment and cost-cutting targets that will be defined in the first half of 2012, Merck will develop specific initiatives to meet these objectives. These activities will be supported by suitable Human Resources measures. The implementation and success of the program will be continually monitored and evaluated.
We are establishing a performance-oriented corporate culture
Merck is fostering a performance-oriented corporate culture – by means of clearly defined responsibilities and by promoting self-initiative, commitment, decisiveness and results-oriented behavior.
