Merck reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3.1 guidelines on our corporate responsibility (CR) website.

The voluntary guidelines offer a useful framework for transparent reporting about environmental, social and governance performance. Greater transparency on such matters is beneficial to our business because it helps to inform our stakeholders and also enables us to compare performance with that of peers on relevant metrics. We believe that this will help us focus on continuously improving the things that matter most.

GRI has checked the report and concluded that it fulfills the requirements at Application Level A. For the statement from the organization confirming this level, please click here.
