Creating Value from Diversity

For Schering-Plough, innovation has become a primary differentiator and driver of performance. We believe that diversity fuels innovation.

Research shows that a multicultural work force offers a richer variety of approaches to work-related problems and processes. Ensuring that a diversity of opinions, experiences, cultures and perspectives are represented, and fostering an environment that allows them to flourish, creates the essential breeding ground for innovation.

As we focus our research efforts on developing innovative medicines, we are at the same time focused on finding ways to maximize the potential of our own diverse work force. By doing so, we're creating value from our diversity.

This philosophy - looking at diversity as an essential driver of our success - has led us to dedicate ourselves to the following vision and mission:

Diversity and inclusion vision - A new kind of health care company, best among its peers, that is global in structure and outlook, diverse and inclusive in its culture

Diversity and inclusion mission - To build leadership and organizational capacity and capability to create value out of our global dimensions of diversity and inclusion
