This is evident in many ways. Schering-Plough's scientists are earning trust through the discovery and development of innovative, science-based medicines and services that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Schering-Plough's sales professionals, marketing teams, colleagues working at their plants and others throughout the organization at all levels of responsibility take each day as a fresh opportunity to earn trust.

All of this takes hard work, sharp execution, integrity and transparency on the part of Schering-Plough's colleagues. Schering-Plough's global team is working to sustain and expand innovative new treatments. They're determined to do their part to increase access to better health care for all people. And, Schering-Plough are focused on becoming the best in three key strategic areas: people, products and processes.

Schering-Plough are beginning to see the results of their efforts, but believe the best is yet to come. The test of being a true champion is to never give up and to passionately strive for even better outcomes. From their perspective as a health care company, that means helping people around the world live better and live longer.
