Merck joined more than 175 corporations in a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Merck’s CEO Ken Frazier, along with numerous other CEOs, signed a pledge, which outlines a specific set of actions they will take to cultivate a trusting environment where all ideas are welcomed, employees feel comfortable, and all are empowered to discuss this very important topic.  
  
**By signing this pledge, Merck demonstrates its commitment to diversity and inclusion by:**

- Continuing to make its workplaces trusting environments where all can have those sometimes complex conversations about diversity and inclusion;
- Expanding unconscious bias education; and
- Continuing to share best – and unsuccessful – practices.
