Apart from the indicators of the financial performance of our businesses, non-financial measures also play an important role in furthering the success of our company. From a Group perspective, specifically innovations in our businesses as well as the attraction and retention of highly qualified employees are of central importance. Further indicators of relevance to specific topics can be found in the Corporate Responsibility report.
Innovation
Innovation is the foundation of our business and will also be the prerequisite for future success in changing markets. We are continuously working to develop new products and service innovations for patients and customers, which is also reflected in our slogan “Merck – Living Innovation”. Indicators for the degree of innovation are defined individually depending on the specifics of our businesses.
Talent retention
Employing a highly qualified and motivated workforce is the basis for achieving our ambitious business goals. Therefore, we put a strong focus on establishing the processes and the environment needed to attract and retain the right talent with the right capabilities at the right time. To measure how successful we are in our efforts, talent retention has been implemented as an important non-financial indicator.
