  • Externer/Interner Brief, Telefax Für Word 2000, Merck Darmstadt
    Progress Report Implementation of the ten principles of the UN Global Compact Period: May 2011 to December 2012 CEO’s Declaration of continued support We at Merck take our corporate responsibility seriously − it is an integral part of our entrepreneurial approach. Responsible conduct founded on clearly defined values is a key factor in Merck nearing its 350th anniversary. We would like to continue along this path. We are therefore reaffirming our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact, which we joined in 2005. We continue to support the ten principles established by the compact, which cover human rights, labor regulations, environmental protection, and anti-corruption. One example of how we actively promote human rights is our commitment to access to health, which means facilitating access to medicines for people in developing countries. After all, according to Article 25 of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, medical care is a universal human right. Being a pharmaceutical, chemical and life science company, we can contribute our expertise in a particularly meaningful manner here. For example, we are collaborating with the World Health Organization (WHO) to combat the tropical disease schistosomiasis in Africa, where we aim to help eliminate the disease by donating praziquantel tablets. In 2012, we decided to expand our commitment and increase the tablet donation tenfold, from 25 million per year to 250 million per year in the medium term. Our Praziquantel Donation Program is, however, only one of many examples of how we are implementing the principals of the Global Compact at Merck despite economically challenging times.

  • Merck Serono Constantly Seeks: • Novel Therapeutic Agents and Drug Targets in Our Key Therapeutic Areas
    PharmaForum 2010, am 2. November in Mainz 1. Company Merck is the world’s oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company with approximately 40.000 employers in 64 countries. Its roots date back to 1668, when Friedrich Jacob Merck purchased the "Angel Pharmacy" in Darmstadt – still owned by the Merck family today. Around 30% of the company’s total capital is publicly traded, while the Merck family owns an interest of about 70% via the general partner E. Merck KG. Merck shares have been included in the DAX ® 30 since 2007. In early 2007, the acquisition of the Swiss firm Serono, Europe’s leading biopharmaceutical company, was completed. The scope of this strategically compelling combination is expected to raise Merck’s competitiveness in the global pharmaceutical market. Analogical, Merck strengthened its chemical sector with the acquisition of Millipore in 2010. 2. Core Competences 2.1 Pharmaceuticals Merck discovers, develops, manufactures and markets innovative prescription drugs as well as over-the-counter products. Merck develop therapies for high unmet medical needs. Through their targeted effect, these help patients to live a longer and better life. Our over-the-counter products can prevent disease and relieve minor complaints. Key therapeutic areas and products ⇒ Oncology: Erbitux® (metastatic colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer), UFT® (colorectal cancer) ⇒ Neurodegenerative Diseases: Rebif® (multiple sclerosis) ⇒ Fertility: Gonal-f®, Ovitrelle®, Pergoveris™, Luveris®, Crinone®, Cetrotide® ⇒ Endocrinology: Saizen® (growth hormone disorders), Serostim® (HIV- associated wasting), Kuvan® (phenylketonuria) ⇒ CardioMetabolic Care: Glucophage® family (type 2 diabetes), Concor® family (cardiovascular diseases), Euthyrox® (thyroid diseases) ⇒ Other therapeutic areas: Cyanokit® (cyanide poisoning) and other products Seite 2 2.2 Chemicals With a range of more than 40.000 products, Merck Millipore ranks third in the life science market.
