Vision & Values

EMD Serono, Canada, has laid the foundations for its future success. We have a shared vision, unifying values and a clear strategy for achieving our business objectives.

We are committed to growing our business in specialist therapeutic areas where our knowledge and experience can make a real difference for patients. We will achieve this through our own product pipeline as well as through integral and strategic partnerships.

We are relentless in our pursuit of enhancement of patient outcomes. We aim to create an environment where our employees are highly engaged and see a strong connection between their roles and the enhancement of patient care. By doing this, we will grow our business and continue to meet unmet medical needs of Canadians.

Six core values, which we share as an affiliate of Merck KGaA, Germany, guide our endeavours as we work to realize our vision:

Integrity ensures our credibility 
Respect is the foundation of any partnership
Transparency makes mutual trust possible 
Courage opens the door to the future
Achievement makes our entrepreneurial success possible
Responsibility determines our entrepreneurial actions

EMD Serono, Canada, has a steadfast commitment to people with chronic or debilitating diseases and developing treatments for unmet medical needs. Equally important, we are committed to being an exemplary corporate citizen by acting and operating responsibly and ethically, and utilizing our resources to support the communities where we work and live. A willingness to take responsibility has been part of our corporate culture for generations. 

We actively participate in volunteer opportunities and provide resources, both human and financial, to local community organizations. For example, EMD Serono, Canada, has been a supporter for many years of The Mississauga Food Bank.

We recognize our responsibilities for environmental protection and conservation as well as the occupational health, safety, and security of our employees. We are dedicated to improving our environmental management and to identifying ways to continually optimize our utilization of resources.
