Schering-Plough readily accepts its obligation to be a responsible public citizen and an equal opportunity employer. We seek to make positive contributions to society, particularly in the communities where our employees work and live.
Corporate Contributions
Through corporate giving, the Schering-Plough Foundation and employee voluntarism, Schering-Plough makes direct contributions to:
- Our communities
- Health care,
educational and arts groups
- Philanthropic organizations
In 1995, grants of $5.6 million were made by the Company and the Foundation. In
addition, employees serve as volunteers in many educational, cultural and
charitable programs at the local, state and national levels.
Protecting the Environment
Recognized for our efforts to protect the environment, in 1994, Schering-Plough
became the first facility in New Jersey -- and in the United States -- to
obtain a comprehensive facility-wide environmental permit. The permit, which
marks the culmination of Schering-Plough's voluntary participation in New
Jersey's landmark pollution prevention program, covers all air emissions, waste
water discharges and solid waste management for our manufacturing operations in
Kenilworth, N.J.
Balancing Work and Family Life
Our commitment to creating a "family-friendly" workplace and to helping employees better manage the demands of work and family life is demonstrated through a network of services and programs. These include:
- Childcare programs
- Dependent care resource and referral services
- Adoption referral/support services
- Employee leave policies
