Worker participation, consultation, and communication on occupational health and safety |

Occupational health and safety committees are required by law in Germany. All employees of Merck KGaA are therefore represented by such committees, which operate at site level. They account for around 13% of our total workforce. The majority of sites outside Germany also have health and safety committees to represent their employees. The organization of these committees is the responsibility of our individual sites. Health and safety issues are governed Group-wide by our EHS Policy. The organizational implementation of this policy is the responsibility of our individual sites and is subject to local laws and regulations. Merck KGaA, which accounts for approximately 13% of our total workforce, has company agreements in place on occupational health and safety. |

Ratio of basic salary and remuneration of women to men |
|
As a basic principle, our compensation systems and processes do not distinguish between women and men. The salaries we offer are predicated on the respective job description and are based on our Global Job Catalog, which has fixed salary bands that are identical for men and women. Variable salary components that fall under performance-based compensation are paid on the basis of whether mutually agreed targets have been achieved. A performance management system governs this process. |
