Merck was named one of the 'World’s Most Admired Companies' by Fortune magazine. The publication released its annual list, ranking Merck among its ‘All-Star’ companies — moving up 12 spots on the list from 2020. The company was also ranked the No. 2 most admired company in the pharmaceutical industry.
To compile the rankings, corporate reputation and performance are measured against nine key attributes: innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment, quality of products and services, and global competitiveness.
