Business Integrity

Schering-Plough's Vision to "Earn Trust, Every Day" is supported by the company's strong emphasis on business integrity and compliance with laws and regulations impacting the company's global business operations. The company's "Leading with Integrity" compliance program includes a number of significant elements, including policies and procedures, training, auditing and monitoring, an anonymous reporting hotline, an investigations process, and application of discipline when appropriate. Education, training and communication are a prime focus of Schering-Plough's compliance program. All Schering-Plough employees receive regular training on compliance and the company's expectations for business integrity. Company policies coverage a wide range of topics and set the standards for employees' way of working with each other, as well as with physicians, government organizations and other stakeholders. The Global Compliance and Business Practices organization maintains the program and assures that it is appropriately implemented.

Schering-Plough regularly benchmarks its compliance program against its peers and leading companies in other industries and adjusts the program when necessary to accommodate the changing legal and regulatory environment.
